Installed new water pump & low temperature thermostat. Temperature needle now sits between the '1' and the '8' rather than just to the right of the '0'.

Great job Alex! Time to get out and enjoy with top off before it's officially too hot!

Thanks, Don. The car has been off the road for some time with a failed water pump (thankfully, no broken impeller parts or damage to the block). The finely-tuned automobile from the other Stuttgart manufacturer developed a camshaft adjuster problem, so it was easier and quicker to replace the water pump & thermostat in the Boxster. It's now my daily driver until I can pluck up enough courage to replace the camshaft adjusters and timing chain. I hope all is well with you.

No, it was the coolant expansion tank. In hindsight, I should have replaced all three at the same time.
