Lately, on a cold start-up, my temperature gauge doesn't rise above the 1st hash-mark. However, once the car is warmed up, if I shut down the car and then start-up again later, the gauge rises to the middle area. The next morning the same thing happens.
I was intending to change my overflow tank this fall, since I had a tank failure on a previous 323 I owned, but now I don't know. The odometer shows 106000 km (approx 60k mi.)

I agree with Kris....sounds like your thermostat is going out...

Unlike the first 2 responses, I'm going to vote that you need to change your thermosta.......wait, crap.

If the above doesn't fix it.....you may be low on blinker fluid.

Well, I was hoping there was another answer to the symptom. I guess I might as well do a coolant system upgrade by changing the pump, thermostat, overflow tank & hoses since I'm over the 100k km mark.

Either that or the flux capacitor needs more plutonium.

Make sure you select the "retro" option. You only need 1.21 gigawatts.
