Had a look at the flaps but they are not electronic so can't be that.

I had a play with the old thermostat in a pan of boiling water and it opens, then closes as the water cools so basically it was working fine. There is however also a top part to the thermostat which doesn't move with the bottom part but is spring loaded. Just curious what that part is for.
Well, higher engine speed circulates coolant more quickly. Coolant circulating more quickly would have a greater cooling affect.
