(Ghia5L here, partially drunk)

Chris, the series 2 sensors are silly on startup due to the positioning of the, err, sensor

So the *real* reading is after you've gone for a short spin and the sensor has lost its "heat soak" from the motor.

As for the fires, I can't believe they're all the way over here! I'm at wayne's currently (Geelong).

Having no air con (in the car) sucks mass testiclae :(
