yeah like simong says its not uncommon for corsas to run in the 90\'s, seems hot but nothing to worry about, i bought a cool running thermostat and that does thge trick nicely
look in total vaux think the company is called LMF

cool running thermostat link (scroll down):

something thats just occured to me is that it shouldnt really be that hot this time of year, does it only do this in traffic, and gets cooler when you drive? if so nothings wrong, but if its hot all the time could be a blockage/ defective thermostat.

if its failed in the closed position you\'ll get no hot air from your blowers
