Hi Guys

I have had mine on order for a while.

Has anyone had any issues with delivery?

I've been in touch with Guido but we are both scratching heads as to where it has gone. It was posted on the 4Th of August. We both have tried tracking it but no joy.

Just wondering if the postal strikes have delayed it?

Anyone?

Hi Guys

My metal Thermostat arrived from South Africa today. Took a while but I think that was because of the postal strikes etc. But it was worth while the wait.

Kieser has done a very good job of manufacturing them, all Kudos to him. If anyone wants details PM me.

This is what it looks like...

All I have to do now is get it fitted. Fortunately I don't have any thermostat issues so there is no rush. I think this is a job beyond my scope so I am looking for someone to do it. Any suggestions in the midlands area???

I would like to take some photos of "How it's done" if I can find someone who would be willing to let me take them while they are doing it. I will then post them in this thread.

Lates - coolant has suddenly started to leak. Could it be the O ring in post 106?

Simon, can you get over Saturday ? Let me know your schedule via my hotmail so I can pick it up during the day tomorrow.

Lates · 30th September 2009, 21:40

Call me anytime after 5 mate. Thoughts with you for tomorrow.

An air-lock will not cause water to be blown out, per se. An air lock is the result of water lost. It will never exceed the pressure of the water evaporating in the system, and will always be at the highest pressure when the engine is hot.

I can say with absolute certainty, that the water you have lost has not been lost through the pressure cap while the engine has been cold, you must have a leak in your cooling system, or the cap is not positioned right or is defective.

You have to clean all the water away, and establish from where you loose the fluid.

Good luck.
