[V8] V8 running temps

[Mike Del Tergo]

Thanks, trying to map over 200 20V knowledge which isn't the same.  I'm 
guessing at 100C fan should kick in.  I know it works as with A/C and fuse 
link has been updated.  I assume it has an afterrun feature?  After 
shutdown, I had to go back to the car about 5 minutes and turnerd on the key 
to see the temp reading 1/2 hash mark past 100 and the afterrun was not 
working.  Very used to having after run kick in in the summer as you walk 
away from the car! I saw the Bentley check values and will do that, cyl head 
temp sensor checks out.  But couldn't find the locale listed anywhere in the 
V8 Bound edition.  I'm finding the V8 literature weven more vague that the 
other typ 44 manuals.  Must say that 225 45 17s transformed the car from its 
stock tires!
