Ok, so I'm fairly good to go with a few 12v leccy connections and simple spanner and screwdriver jobs but when it comes to looking under the bonnet it all gets a bit blurred.
I've been told my 1.8 X reg late 2000 ES has had a good to sensible amount of dosh spent on it by past owners and it's been well looked after but with 86k on the clock I'm becoming more and more grateful/surprised that after every journey the temp is staying as steady as a rock, in the middle that is.
Needless to say any mods won't stop it's ultimate complete meltdown one day but it'll be handy to know what's prolonging it's life right now apart from its fsh! So how do I spot whether it's had a thermostat mod and any HG change?
Pictures will be of great help, ta
