Lee,

I told you off for having a white, halfords oil filter.... without a non-return valve. I've noticed my article about changing the oil on my website shows the exact same filter!!!! OOOPS!

Not right though!

Bob

I changed the thermostat in my black car today, as the engine temp had begun to struggle to just over 60 degrees and to not reach 80+ without being stuck in traffic.
The difference was magic - the car now heats up faster, heats all the way up (to 80), and stays there even when cruising down the motorway with the cabin heater on.
Interestingly when I got the old thermostat out, it was in the closed position, pretending not to be faulty. Rolling Eyes

Now I need to buy another for my grey car, in which the same symptoms are more pronounced.
