ive just taken my thermostat out. put it in someboiling water and nothing happened. did this twice and still nothing. its supposed to open at about 88c i think.

so ive put the pipe work back together, minus stat. gna see what happens.

only thing i cant get my head around is the hunting, it hunts at idle from about 800 to 1200 rpm. all i can think is as the temp guage is wrong, due to no water flow in the rad, the ecu,s is sending the wrong fuel mix?? i hope it sorts this problem too.

then it should run sweet as a nut.
