There is no mass flow meter on a 4u2, in any case a mass flow meter only controls fuelling not coolant temperature. The coolant temperature on the 4u2 is controlled primarily by the thermostat and the radiator.

Thanks again for your advice,

Rhinoman,
The top hose from the thermostat to the radiator warms up slowly from cold eg there wasn't a sudden change in temperature.
I couldn't see water circulating as I took the rad cap off the water level was half way up the neck of the short neck that the cap fits on. When I started the engine the water gradually started to expand and slightly spill over as it got warmer. I assume that was caused by the air in the water expanding.
Just a thought. Should the cold water level be so high?
I thought it was supposed to just be above the top of the internal fins?
I would appreciate your thoughts,
Been

I think that's OK, from what I remember the remote reservoir is higher than the rad cap

Thanks again,
