Not quite sure of access to that cut wire but it looks easily solderable to me. I would tidy up the hole in the rubber boot (ie make it bigger) then solder one end of a patch wire to the cut end, slide over some heatshrink then solder onto the other end.
The access is nigh on impossible with the intake on.  The 6 intake to cylinder head gaskets have been on order for way over a week now, still no idea of when they will be in.

How do you rate my chances of removing intake, and being able to reuse gaskets. Omegatoy thinks unlikely...

Tunnie, are you revising today, or have the day off ;)

Do you reckon you would be able to get soldering iron under there and do temp fix until the gaskets turn up and I can do properly?

Last time i did an serious soldering i was at School!  :-[

I got the beefy wrench down there, so i suspect I could get that gas powered iron down...

Not sure on how well i could strip the 2 wires, and join them up though. I can get one hand down there but never too, so i can't see how I could strip the wire?  :-/

just been looking at the photo again, i could probably get a little bit on the wire thats poking out, but it looks the other end is going to be very short!  :-/

Not sure what my plans are today, Dad got back from Europe late last night, and he is off again Sunday afternoon...

Plans for tomorrow are to put the good stat back it, after testing it somehow (put in a pan of boiling water??), and get antifreeze back to 50:50.
Tested stat in a pan of boiling water. It does open. Not sure how hot water was in pan, as I didn't have thermometer.  When I first did it, it was probably close to boiling, so I let the water cool for a couple of mins and tested again, still opens. So I suspect stat is fine :)

Just going to chuck it on now...
