New thermostat will help that issue :y

Yep......It has always run cool.

Why can't a stat change be a ten minute fix on the V6. :'( :'(

It is  :)

I suppose I should be grateful because back in the 'mists of time' I once owned  a 1976 Triumph 2500S.

It sucked through twin SU carbs and after a 'service'  ::) ::) with the colourtune, would return about 13 MPG.

but a gallon of  star was less than £1 a gallon though then ...... I do remember it hitting that magical £1 a agllon

I remember the first time I changed one which was on Laidback66's car in front of his house, spent nearly an hour looking for the stat to block bolts, he then produced them from his bloody pocket whilst saying 'ooopppss'

Do they have to put you to sleep to remove your wallet?


I don't own a wallet ......just a brown paper bag with a few thousand gold Doubloons in it. :'( :'(

Just make sure the bag doesn't split or you will have to spend more hours polishing and counting them for the second time today. :-[ :o :P ;D ;D ;D
