Good info, thanks.

Ok put it back together, cheers for the help guys, putting this pic here for reference for others

Thanks guys, all good advice, it was originally a 1.7 diesel, I got the broken flange out and have matched it on brickwerks. Sounds ridiculous tbh I think I was putting in the clip incorrectly (down not sideways), could see the bigger picture once the flange was out, will confirm with the new one… a...

Thanks mate guess it just turned into a bigger job!

not the start to my 'repair day' that I was hoping for. Anyone got any advice please?

Well f..k, gave it a tap and the housing has split

Hi Tobydog, So yes, it fits nicely, snug, with the o-ring, and presents what should be the right curved surface for the clip when eyed through the slot. Outside the tube the clip fits on the sensor. Without the sensor, the clip also fits perfectly in the slot with the clips popping out the bottom sl...

That was my thought but,
a) prefer the metal as would probably have broken the plastic one by now
b) this is the one that came out of it so should go back in, no obvious distortion!

Thanks, tried that but still won't go!

Hi all,  Not posted on here for a long time but regular browser for solutions but can't find an answer to this and feel I am just being an idiot 1Y Diesel engine, wires had corroded to the coolant temp sensor. Took it out to solder on some extensions, quick job, now have spent the rest of the day wo...

Dalek cap changed, seems to be better but temp still creeping as soon as I hit the motorway, didn't expect it to fix it, just trying to get the bits I can tackle in order. As you suggested 937carrera, going to aim to change the belt, more tinkering while I wait really but aiming to get other bits in...

Haven't given up, and after having had to endure the pain of paying to hire a car for a brief trip to Wales (where we lucked out with sunshine) it is back to digging and delving around the wiki and forum while I wait to get this to a mechanic (still like mining for gold around this way) and trying t...

Thanks, yes and best of all is when I do get it to a mechanic it won’t be done blindly.

I wish he could but he only visits a partner down here a day every week or so, otherwise works full time in Kent and hasn’t got the time to work on it

Thanks, like your thinking. However, I had someone I know who is a mechanic look at it today as he was visiting Brighton. He revved the engine a lot, got some dreaded white smoke and pretty quickly diagnosed it as a head gasket issue. He knows T25s so trust his opinion. The stuck thermostat seems to...

still chipping away, cleaned all the battery terminals as they were pretty filthy. Went for another run and similar to before but the heating took longer (also a lot cooler weather). Bled again on a slope after the run and a bit of air but nothing major. Couple of small squeals again at the beginnin...
