change thermostat, sound like its stuck open and is not letting the engine warm up as normal.
easy to replace as well.
where the bottom rad hose comes up, there is two bolts i think, 10/12mill and you will have the cover off which the bottom hose attaches 2, and you will be able to gain access to it.
