If you drive standing on your head it will work normally.

thank you all ,just trying to work out how to depress the clutch with my eye brow

just been to a local parts shop and ordered an 88 degree thermostat ,just picked myself off the floor £9.99 have i been ripped off?

Probably, but to get one from a specialist, add the postage, and VAT, and you are in the same area!
So what am I doing wrong, driving all through winter with half the grille blocked up? Still never gets hot and bothered, only reaches the 85 degree mark at 70+ for a mile or more!

With the 88 stat it will be toasty all the time !! Price does seem a bit steep though........
This one on ebay is only £4.10 with free post......... It took less than 20 seconds to find it.........

I thought i would support my local parts shop,as the minor centre is a good 40 min drive in normal traffic and an hour or more in the m6 traffic,in the non rush 45 seconds !!! As the Stones said "this will be the last time "
Plus since I've retired I have no time !!!! (Mrs leaves me lists of jobs!!!!!)
