ive been running the engine for 20 min or so after it reached operating temp, tried revving to get it moving and the pipes going to the matrix are just warm.had a look in haynes and it shows that the switch/sensor on thermostat housing is a heater element? and to test thermo i have to put it in...

ive already put a hose through heater matrix and rad and they were both clear, it just doesnt seem to be flowing from engine to the rad for some strange reason.i had the issue with cold heater before thats why i did the water pump and timing belt (wasnt long before it was due anyway) but i never...

ive had mine about 5 months now and im well pleased with it, its on 65k now and as sweet as a new car except for the thermo

the thermostat on my 2001 2 litre petrol sport has had it and just been to the dealer and its £52.90 for a new one because its a complete housing assembly, does anyone know if its possible to dismantle and replace just the thermostat itself,its just that it seems a lot of money for something...
