Thermostat housing wires?

Got these 2 wires that look like a sensor for the thermostat, where do they connect to as they are not connected to anything once they leave here? One is black and other purple (the flash makes them look different colour). Oh my van is a 1984 1.9 petrol http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y43/bmxmatt19...

Changing fuel pipes.

Probably a silly question but i have a fuel leak on the return pipe on my van (1984 1.9 petrol) so going to change the pipes this weekend. Does the tank need to come off to change the pipes?

interior lights

Hi, just wondered how long its ok to use interior lights for on our van as we dont have a leisure battery? The lights are run through a zig unit. So far we have camped on sites with hook up so have only used them for few minutes at a time.

Cheers matt
