That's put a spanner in the works! I wasn't even aware of such an item!
I have oredered the main thermostat from TPS. How do you differentiate which item is at fault? I'm still leaning towards the main thermostat as it happened to me half way into a 230 mile journey, after hitting heavy/stationary traffic? Cheers

Anyhoo...............I made my usual 230 mile drive from Lancashire to Heathrow, having NOT changed the thermostat (for various reasons) and took a gamble but watched the coolant temp gauge like a hawk! Alas, it sat steady at 90deg all the way. I don't doubt it will probably repeat the episode of going cool again and if it does, I will change one of two items. Just thought I'd chuck this in for info..... I return home on Wednesday and hope the car behaves itself then!
