thegoth 5 Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Ian,Does it have lots of cooling hoses going into it and two or three sensor connections?That's your thermostat housing. Just had to change mine as one of the hose connections sheard off.Quite common apparantly for them to fail.You are looking at around £50 to replace it entirely ( it comes in three pieces ) or £5 if it's just the seals/rings that have gone.TG.
