You should not tell people to change the thermostat saying that the seam is leaking when you haven't proved it.
Definitely not Dave. Firstly "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" and secondly you'd more than likely end up with an incorrect 82˚ thermostat replacing your perfectly serviceable and correct 88˚ original part. Where's the sense in that?

I did not test it as per you recommended as over the years i have done loads of these and have seen lots that have split on the seams as im sure other members have as well
What is the point of refitting and old unit back which will almost certain leak?, There is no point mincing about spending ages trying seals etc when i can change all the parts and bleed it up in just over an hour so quite simple Simon really to me job done owner happy?
