Title: Thermostat Post by: tonylanciabeta on November 30, 2008, 05:49:48 PM Hello everybody,
I have just joined this forum and and very pleased to see it exists. I am just about to put my car back on the road (now has MOT). I was checking the thermostat which does not appear to move under temperature. Does anyone have or know of one for sale ? Your replies will be much appreciated.

There are 2 ways of testing this, one is to run it under a hot boiling water into one of the water holes, then you can see if the spring and mechanism move, otherwise if it is in the car, run it for about 5-10mins if the bottom hose that connects to the radiator is cold, then you will need to change the thermostat. Hope this helps, SportyBeta ------------------------------------------------------------- |
