stat was in housing, [it was fitted by Lates]
when stuck in traffic - heater blows hot air so assume engine is getting hot.
temp seems to raise to 50c quick enough, which makes me think the stat is ok
even left car running till fans kicked in everything appears fine then taken for drive, same results has in prvious post.
[had a car with stat removed could never get it above warm]
have to agree about engine being cold.
thermostat housing doing to good a job ? perhaps ??
drove home yesterday from rugby to merthyr 138 miles
only time engine got hot was in heavy traffic.
like i said, a bit concerned about engine not reaching normal temp.
not sure where to go from here ?
replace thermostat housing another £££ or get shot of car.
been a bit of a money pit lately.
