If you have changed one on a diesel with pas in 20 min I would be amazed. Took me at least a couple of hours when I had to change the stat when it got too hot and head gasket failed.

How did derv stats creep into tom's MV thread anyway? But whilst on the subject, did an aaz one on Friday - 15 minutes, including 10 minutes poopooing the theory behind the 3 holes I found drilled in the old one to combat the overheating caused by the blocked radiator!
