Has anyone had problems with overheating at 90 for a good few miles.

Coming back from Southampton I was doing about 90 for a good 20miles the other day and the car temperature guage went towards the red until i came back of the accelerator. Has anyone else had these problems?

I did about 75 to 80 for the red of the journey - about 180miles with no problems.

I know the MINI One D top speed is 90 - could this be the reason? I was only doing 3000rpm in 6th on the motorway.

(BTW: This is a technical / performance issue thread - not one saying you should slow down a bit for legal reasons)
