I'm in the need of my thermostat changing aswell :(

I'm dreading it. Is it a nightmare?


You still not done that stat yet, we had this conversation a month ago.  :grin:

nope lol. Its been bluddy freezing, i'm waiting for my power steering pump from my mate. he's taking his time tho... anyway once i get that (which will sort the squeeky pump) then i will do the thermostat the same time   :wink:

Or have a good go at doing it  :laugh:

Well, after bleeding again for 2 hours this evening, i finally have hot air through my blowers! and temp gauge stays at 90! However i still havent seen my fan cut in (or heard)? anyone have any links of how to diagnose any fan problems? also my oil temperature is way high, runs between 110-120 most of the time! could this be because the fan isnt working? really need to get that sorted 2! any suggestions?

My oil temp is usually around 95-100 so i would leave it a couple of days to settle down. As for the fan check your fuses first then go from there.
