[QUOTE="67westy, post: 438172, member: 14107"] I don't mate but I've never stopped and not been able to hold the dipstick. The engines were designed to work in far more extreme climates than the UK so I'm not worried. Maybe if I had an expensive engine I would be more concerned but not for my stock 1600. I'm sure in spain it would run hotter but I still wouldn't think that you are pushing the extremes of what it was designed for. I guess the question could be reversed, how do you know you would of cooked it? Granted the temperature would probably increase but it could well run fine like that. I might consider gauges if I was going to a more extreme climate or upgrade the engine but I'm sure there are thousands of vans doing thousands of miles in hot climates with heavy loads without issue.
