New stat fitted, temp now sits at 90 degrees. Happy days.
Fitting 2 new Bridgestone tyres this afternoon. Woo Hoo!
Never seen my temp gauge make it to 90c, could this be the problem??
Could be mate. I'm hoping to get better mpg now. I took everyone's advice and chucked the pattern stat and instead fitted one from tps.
Finally received my new bonnet after being lost in the post for nearly 3 weeks, damaged on points near splash panel where it's been dropped by looks of things gutted

Popped over to TPS in Shrewsbury yesterday to collect an OEM Thermostat amongst a few other bits. Anyway the young chap told me that there is no gasket or 'O' ring between the egr valve and the inlet manifold! He may be correct but I think there is an 'O' ring as I've seen clips on YouTube. I'll go to my local motor factors in a bit and check.
Whats that parked behind your audi is that not the wrong breed ?

Yeah the rear lights were on the car when we bought it as were the fronts. I think they have quite a nice look to them when they're lit up at night but must admit they do look a bit ripspeed-y at other times of time the day. Not overly keen on the fronts either to be honest, but look different to the originals so they've stayed on and I actually like the darkened look of the lights all round so not really had any burning desire to change them at the moment.
As for the kit, yes you're quite right, it's a votex kit but not sure what pipe arrangements/styles were available for these cars back in the day. I know it had the kit fitted somewhere between new and when the first owner sold the car when it was approx. 4 months old as I have the sale receipt from when the second owner bought the car back in 2003.
