Thanks Bruce and Barry!
« on: 24 February 2008, 13:50:18 »
Hi. I'd like to say thanks to Bruce and Barry and everyone else who helped to fix my car. :y

It took absolutely ages (over five hours) because the thermostat housing was stuck and when everything got put back together the water leaked out.

It was a real pain of a job but Bruce kept smiling all the time even though he was absolutely fed up with it.

The guys spent over five hours on my car when they could have been sorting out their own.

Thanks very much for a job well done! :y

The heater works great now and I drove the 220 miles home at normal operating temp and no problems at all. :y

Three garages couldn't fix it but Bruce and Barry did.

Thanks ever so much! :y

Well, we couldn't get the bridge pipe out but, Issunaz had a spare pipe and stat housing which was lucky.

The route cause was that there was NO stat in the stat housing and whoever had been there before had not fitted the Bstard bolt!

Amazing.   (although I thought the stat was integrated into the housing..).   So was it mr. hacksaw to the rescue then?

Broocie and I were discussing the woes of car engine designers on this job. they obviously never work on engines themselves. You can see them in the design room saying "look at this one lads I've come up with a really good Idea to make engine repairs a real ba$tard of a job"

It seems daft to have the stat in the middle of the engine. Are all engines like this?
