Right gents, loads of points to consider there, thank you.
Although the thermostat was functioning correctly before I started monkeying around I'll go with the general consensus and pop out the thermostat anyway, for the sake of isolation of a problem as much as anything else. I'll also have a ...

Thank you, as you said Action man :smiley: (that's you at CERN :blum: ), it appears there are a number that will fit so I should be able to get a cheap one on order today.

I also mentioned that pretty much my soul source of advice was here and intuition and ...

Thanks for the help re. the ring order guys. Working entirely from a poorly printed service manual is a pain. I wish they dis a Haynes for the Ten.
