On the way to work tonight in the cage. When I switched the lights on, the temperature start going up. I only noticed once the needle had reach the top of the gauge.  :O

As soon as I switched the lights off, It slowly went back down to half way. It doesn't usually sit as high as that.

I haven't checked anything yet. I thought I better leave the car to cool before I check the water level. Anybody heard of this one before.

I'd guess it's an electrical fault rather than the temp actually going up.

What time does it get dark where you are?  :O

It wasn't dark  :laughcont: , just really dull because of heavy rain clouds.

I have a theory. You could have a short somewhere in your electrical system. When you turn your lights on it's taking power away from the cooling fan for your engine.
