Re: Sole survivors: the very rarest cars on UK roads today

Re: Type 3 Thermostat Fitting

Glad you found it, at least they are opening and closing now. I would guess that the thermostat is getting tired. Keep your eye out for a replacement at a jumble or on ebay over the summer. Then youre prepared when/if it does fail :)
