I have a '97 mondeo 2.0 zetec engine (silver top)its only done 37k miles and has spent most of its life doing short trips or parked in garage.
Problem is temp gauge rarely moves and if it does move its only a tiny bit, dosnt over heat and blowers seem to work as they should, any help much appreciated cheers

Remove thermostat and see if it's stuck open or test with boiling water in a cup or dish .

if its not working properly you really need to change it as the engine will not run as efficiently as it could
