Thanks for the confirmation Jim. I hadn't thought about the fresh cool water having an effect...

Took it out for a spin down the street and it looks like it's running at its *normal* 90C. Don't know how this temp is compared to others but for the short time I've had the car, 90C is where it pretty stays.
