Advice on replacing 135 thermostat please.

Very good idea. It is easy to get to right now.

 

Clear. The temp gauge has always operated as it should.

Well the spare wheel and tyre arrived today and perhaps the best £50 I have spent and included postage.
The tyre is from 2012 but is solid with zero cracks.
It came deflated so I pumped it up and let's see how it is tomorrow morning.
He has 3 more left all with correct size tyres for anyone who may have upgraded their brakes and found the spare doesn't fit..cough..Delbourt.

 
 


Still no thermostat..the two day delivery now stands at five..

The weather is too hot the stat wouldn't stand it, so the delivery will be done when its cooler.

It's all relative Our pleasent day is your heatwave and the converse is true when we're freezing our bollocks off, you lot haven't even rugged up yet!

You two comedians are not helping at all 😁

Which carrier is it coming via? If it’s EvRi it might be an idea to check behind the bins or in even them. Have a look in the hedges if there are any around you, in the trees, next doors upstairs window sill.
It might be jammed solid in your letter flap.
I had some LP’s delivered which stated “Records, Don’t Bend” in large letters on the package.
“Yes they do” was the jolly message scrawled on the folded carton.

"Yes they do" 😁😁😁😁

Evri. Stop swearing.
In my experience they are the worst . Very occasionally when a conscientious new starter is employed they are good until that person moves on to a better company (at least that is what I suspect happens).

I also think they undercut everyone else to get them out of the market .

You will get your parcel when it suits them - in about 10 days time.

Well the tyre lost 10psi overnight.
Oh well back to fitting one of the spare new Falkens.
At least I will have a good spare.
I am parranoid about driving without a spare.

Pump up that tyre again and throw it in a water bath to see where air is coming out, it may be a cracked wheel!
Way back when........I was the proud new owner of my MGF, and I had one tyre that insisted on deflating constantly, I had to chuck it in a  water bath to find that the wheel had a crack in it.
No point paying to put a good tyre on a buggered wheel......best to find out which one is the culprit.....the tyre, the valve or the wheel!

I just thought I cheer you up with that possibility..........bet your feeling happier, now you have that thought rattling about in your head! 🤣

Oh bad luck! I was going to buy that wheel (if it is from the supplier I think it might be)  but delayed the purchase and bought one of the other 4 after that one was NLA.
The wheel itself is only slightly scuffed at the rim but the tyre is holding pressure even if it is a bit old with what I consider to be full tread depth.
Based on this and TA22GT’s experience the others are probably good value.
