weird temp gauge reading
my mk1 berlingo normal sits at 1/2 way, stopped in traffic it will rise and the cooling fans kick and the temp lowers, the last couple of days however its only been sitting at 1/4, when i stop as usual it will rise to over the 1/2 and cool down but it cools down to 1/4, temp from the heater feels the same as normal, coolant was changed only last year, I'm going to have a look tomorrow but any idea's what i should be looking for?

Thermostat not closing properly (warped) would do this. I don't know how easy it is to get to on a berlingo but should be cheap enough to swap it out.
Hang on I'll look the price up.
Edit: Can't find it on Service Citroen site under cooling. But other sites suggest around £10 example for a thermostat so if it was me I'd change that first and take it from there.
