With the radiator and engine in good condition overheating should never be a problem.
As mentioned by others on this thread overcooling is much more likely, almost certain in cold weather.
Because of this we have a Renault 5 thermostat fitted inside the top hose. Several manufacturers used this method of mounting the thermostat.
Below 80C wear increases significantly.
This means the engine warms up much more quickly and then maintains an even temperature.

The blue hose was all I could find to try the experiment at low cost. However black is available.
It's worked very well since 2015 and about 10,100 miles.
