If I remember correctly its 185F over 5C and 180F below 5C. Er, yeah, I'm British we tend to mix our units  :)

Thermostat 'B' opens at 95C(203F), fully open at 100C(212F)

On a 96 stock it's 82 C (179 F) and 95 C (203 F) according to the FSM, so Sky wins!  :)

I run the 192F one as my Tracker used to run a little cold.
