| Crookie May 15th, 2012, 04:45 PM Hi there I have recently purchased a 52 plate cooper s and I was just wondering if it was normal for the engine to warm up very quickly, it gets up to half way on the gauge within 5 minutes. Does anybody know how to change the temperature displays from centgrade to fahrenheit? eatcustard May 15th, 2012, 06:12 PM 5 mins is normal, most modern petrol cars warm up fast. Cant help with the C to F change mab01uk May 15th, 2012, 10:12 PM Modern car temp gauges like that on the Mini go to normal quickly but don't register any small changes in temperature accurately. A Scangauge2 below or similar gives exact temp readings if plugged into the OBD diagnostic socket.

So by the time it started to move above half way she was hot. :( | ||
