Bought today
« on: 12 July 2014, 17:14:30 »
An aftermarket thermostat from eurocarparts which came in at £20.99p what Vauxhall choose to call a drain tube this came in at £9.77p with the "O"rings at 97p each and with v.a.t. a total of £13.36p so for a total price of £34.35p I don't think that's too bad.All I need now is some coolant and the spare time to do the job!!

I fitted an after market thermostat when repairing the oil cooler seal and thermostat seal thinking, its only a thermostat.(ac delco) only lasted 6k before sticking shut and overheating and as you know, another dose of pita to change.

Genuine are more expensive even with trade card. taxi al had a usa ebay link for genuine with reasonable prices as long as you dont mind the postal wait.
