Title: Wanted. Thermostat n housing
Post by: biggriffin on 16 December 2017, 16:28:14: Before I go and get one, antibody got a New thermostat and housing, they no longer needed, pm price Inc delivery to hoof'land.

Reason, car only runs at about 85'c, when it gets to 90' in the traffic nice n toasty, so think thermostat is playing up.

Post by: Doctor Gollum on 16 December 2017, 22:01:37: 85 is a touch low... 87-90 is normal, below 85 and the heater starts to draw too much heat from the coolant at anything above the lowest fan speed :-\
