Normal Operating Temperature

Normal Operating Temperature
Hi All,
I am new here and I have some queries which I hope some one could help me on.
To begin with, I have recently bought a 2005 x-type. I am from Singapore.
While the temperature gauge has the indicator at slightly below middle, I have plugged in a Scangauge and notice the driving temperature can range between 86 degree to 97 degree. Is this normal?
Or anyone can advise on the normal operating temperature of a x-type?
Thanks in advance.

Joshua, having the car cycle between 86C and 97C is normal. As long as the temp gauge remains in the center, that is what I would mainly worry about. The temp gauge is designed to remain "stationary" while the temp varies slightly during normal operation. If you get above about 100C, that is when you will see the temp gauge start to climb towards H.

Even England ditched it years ago.

Using mm instead of feet / inches does not for most day-to-day things make sense but I suppose it's progress to some.
It's odd that the move to metric has apparently stalled. No idea why.
hmm, maybe the inappropriately named Golden Delicious?
I tend to use metric for calculations and only convert at the end if imperial is wanted.
I can't say the exact size of paper such as A4 strikes me as sane in terms of metric units.
