There should be a bleed hole on the thermostat - some patent parts don’t have it. It should sit at the top (12 o’clock position)

Hi Bob I am new to this so if I am coming across as a bit thick it’s probably because I am. I use a thermometer with a red dot and point it at various places: Low down on the engine block gets to 45-50 max, after an hour ticking over. The metal...

Thanks Allan So I should change the sensor. It’s located towards the front of the engine near the injectors? Should I remove the alternator to reach it? What would be the best way to go about this?

This I hope will be straightforward: My 2.5 diesel will not warm up, stays around 45c. So I want to test/replace temperature sensors. Having not taken a spanner to her yet I want to know the procedure to make this task as economical as I can time...
