Nope. Its definitely running hotter than usual. Currently sitting between 90 and 95. Usually sits between 80 and 85 unless at steady higher speeds around 50 to 60 where temp drops down to 75

Combined with the hazards issue you told me about earlier, check the earths for the instruments before you fear the worst. Remember how the gauges showed crazy stuff when that was an issue before.
