I think it is the recommended rang of rpm for the gear changes

Thanks for your response guys sorry I didn't get back to you sooner I have been flat out and the picture up the top is my cluster and mine is a series 2 cluster dash and I have learnt to shift down going up the hills and not labour it so that has brought the temp down a bit and I have learnt that it is about the normal temp rang to run half way to two thirds up the dash depending on load, but to my understanding three quaters would be to high

Honestly if you just bought the car and not sure of condition.
Buy a new radiator and fan clutch . Redo the thermostat too. If you have enough then do water pump
Just a piece of mind.

Dumping coolant and refilling seldom does help with the radiator.
If you want to use that radiator then take it out and take to a radiator shop. The will undo the end tanks
rod each tube clean then reseal end tanks. That's when you say Radiator is like new.
