RE: [doc] Temperature Gauge (Please help!!)

["Richard Hanlon" <rahanlon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

For what it's worth, my cooling fans usually kick it just as the needle has 
crept over the mark that's a quarter of the way up the guage (can't remember 
the value in F).  Most of the time, even on long hot motorway runs, the 
needle is under this and the fans are off. Few mins in standing traffic 
brings 'em on though.  It's dead satisfying to hear the click, whirr, and 
see the temp. dropping.
