     Hi Dave:
     
     As I always suggest when a Tiger seems to be running too cool:  Could 
     it be that your temperature sensor is failing?  I got fooled by this 
     in my early years of ownership.  What temperature is your thermostat?  
     Does the gauge maintain something around this temperature under ideal 
     cooling conditions, such as cool weather or rain? As the car warms up, 
     the temp should come up to the thermostat temp and pause there, before 
     heading further up.  When my sensor was failing, the car started 
     running cooler and cooler, even on hot sunny days at noon.  Then I 
     began to notice that my hot toes and the gauge were contradicting each 
     other.....  See my tech tip in the Survivor, or on Mark's Tiger page.
