Does anyone know if there's a gasket in the thermostat housing, where the coolant hose joins the housing?Mine seems to be leaking and I don't want to take it apart until I establish whether I need to source a gasket and there's nowhere open on a Sunday to ask... Thanks |

I think there's an 'O' ring. You need to order a radiator bottom hose one as it isn't listed for here.________________________________________ S Reg Diablo standardsSpec SORNEDR Reg Nile standard spec written off then repaired X Reg Astor in need of TLC R Reg Nile to restore Set of Lions to fit. |

Crap. Then looks like I might have cracked the housing by doing the bolts up too tight! Cheers |

I would imagine it is probably cracked if you have had it apart recently.  The bolts do not have to be tightened up very much at all.  Stan. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Replaced the thermostat the other day. I've done it before too, should have known better! Anyone wants me I'll be in the classifies!  |
