Take thermostat out, wash in warm water with toothybrush, blast with air line (not ba or virgin before any of you funny buggers chime in, Pabs + mellow) Test in warm/hot water then replace if fixed or swear at if not. ;D Stars = ? Karma = Likeability. Any more tech questions ask Baggy or Uncle norbs as they is clever-ish!  |

Not sure about the transit 'stat', always best to fix than bodge. :oNorbs will probably have a million kicking about his gaff if yours is dead. As for the compresion, i am not sure. Is it not in your manual? Plus if everything is snug (pistons + rings), and it aint had any head work done (skimmed/double gaskets etc) then you shouldnt need to worry. If you are worried just remove a plug, put a pinkie over the hole and kick it over. If it blows your finger off the hole then comp is ok.  p.s. run this past the other guru's before doing anything. ;D ;D |
