    If you are short of a thermostat then coxy can help you out I'm sure, as he did for me.

    And just for good measure that it has an engine and not concrete blocks in the boot. Complete with an AS41 case.

    Not yet, but I have not had access to the front boot, engine,inside or heater channels of floor pan. Why are you interested, no one else seems to be?
