Thermostat changed on my V6
« on: 14 August 2008, 21:49:13 »

Changed the stat tonight, the B@stard bolt lived up to it's name, purely because some muppet before me had butchered the bracket that holds the dipstick to it - so I had to devise another method of supporting this.

All went together OK though - I suspect the old one was knackered because I can pass a fair amount of cold water through it when I put it under the tap cold!

Just hope I see an improvement :)
Cambelt, oil cooler and inlet back togther tomorrow, and it's key turn time  8-)

Now how long has it taken you to change that cambelt ?. A week ?. That will ruin the JV6 reputation.  ;D

Seriously, Best of luck  :y :y :y :y :y , hope the rubber dissapears in a puff of smoke.

I'm STILL waiting on the correct parts before reassembly, so I have a valid excuse :P

(Not to mention it's been pi$$ing down non stop and I've got so much else on  :'( )

At least I've not burnt any fuel this week ;D
