If the temperature is dropping it is probably cause there is snow between the bonnet and the windscreen. Which is where the air intake is for fresh air to the interior. but you should top up the coolant once a year as the gylcol(anti freeze) will evaporate off over time.

lol fell off my chair laughing at that..... friggin arm chair mechanics!

engines will safley run above 100 deg C without damage or boiling, as your an expert ill let you figure out how they dont boil over when the coolant temp is over 100deg c
