We did do a full coolant change last night and fully bled the system, when I got it home I let it run for half an hour and the temp went up to the same level, I then turned it off, then turned on the ignition and the electric fan kicked in with the revs increasing on there own,this took it down to half way immediately .
Is the tester taking the pee pee?
Why does the MOT gimp need to run it for twenty minutes is what I'd be asking? Mine goes in the with engine running, emission stick put up the jacksy, does the test, switches it off. Runnimng for no more than 5 minutes. Even if it was cold I don't see why it should be run for more than ten minutes?
Just go back and give him a slap.
