DIAGNOSTIC SHOWED THAT MY THERMOSTAT NEEDED REPLACING. BUT EVEN WITH A NEW THERMOSTAT THE EMS LITGT STAYS ON AND THE ENGINE IS DIFFICULT TO START WHEN COLD AND THE FAN MOTER STARTS WHEN SWITCHED ON, EVENTUALLY THE TEMP GAUGE WILL SHOW A READING BUT ONLY WHEN THE ENGINE HAS WARMED UP AND THE ENGINE IS SWITCHED OFF THEN ON
