All of us that have been here for a while know all about a certain scammer mechanic that lived in Derbyshire. Might be a coincedence and nothing to do with him, but you never know.

Glad to hear yours is all sorted and running sweet

Just for ref, i have can changed the thermostat without removal of anything else apart from the front breather pipe and obviously hoses. But it can be a knuckle scraping experience.

I deffo mentioned it on here but not sure how in depth i went. I got a box of wine out of it tho i remember that.
