Re: Where’s my Thermostat?

I’ve noticed the lower pipe here on the photo doesn’t get hot while running the engine so could this be a stuck thermostat?

Re: Where’s my Thermostat?

Hi David, yes I’ve checked the coolant levels and they’re both good. I haven’t tested the radiator, but I’ll do that.
Thanks

jumping out of gear

I have a 5 speed box jumping out of 5th gear.
Do you guys know any good (reasonable) gearbox mechanics?
I bought a 5th cog and synchro ring from Brickwerks, and the box is out so it's ready to go.

What Conversion?

Hi Guys.
I recently bought this 2.0 air-cooled auto tintop to restore but does anyone recognise this conversion/interior?
I was thinking Danbury?

Eberspacher D2L wont turn off

I recently got my old petrol Eberspacher D2L working, but now I cant turn it off!
Its blowing hot air, and I have to disconnect it from the leisure battery to bring it to a halt.
Any suggestions?
