...ford transit 2.5 1997....temp gauge hardly moves and bottom radiator hose seems cool to touch when fully warmed up...it has a thermostat in it and it seems ok.....i took the top hose off the thermo block and no water came out (or is that wrong!)..i push the thermostat with a screw driver and water came out

...please help urgent..i am going to replace thermostat and temp sensor tommorrow but is there anything else that makes it run cool on the gauge with a cool bottom rad hose?????????

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work all day.

He's a lumberjack and he's OK

I cut down trees, I eat my lunch
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shopping and have buttered scones for tea

Suspenders and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie, just like my dear Papa!!
