Measures Required

[wild bill]

I have read alot on here about temp stats and HGF on 'K' Series. TBH i service the car regularly, and drive it all the time (13500 miles on the clock) I've got a 1.8 SS and now wonder do i need to check temp stat, how do i know what i've got fitted, do i need to check coolant levels and bleed the system or should this have been done in the service? Should i leave all as is. Car runs at 80 degrees all the time unless heavy traffic which is rare down in the west country

 

I'd be grateful for any sensible answers those along the lines of stop driving immediately your about to blow up will be ignored

Insert key.

Drive.

Carry out maintenance as recommended by manufacturer at appropriate intervals/mileages.

Enjoy.

Fix as necessary, stop worrying.

Ahhhhh i knew Battered old supersport would have something sensible to say

 

Where in France are you? I visit yearly en famille although take my old VW bus (65 21 window split Samba) can't wait to move out there but may take me a couple of years yet 😬 Speak french fluently so can't wait.

 

Glad for the sensible advice and am quite happy to fix as necessary glad no doom mongers have yet replied (there's alot)

Hi Bill

Saumur, Loire Valley. Nice place, if a bit quiet. I end up going to Angers (30 miles) more and more for social activity. If I stay here commuting is becoming more and more attractive, I'll have to see. Be happy to see you or other BCers, with or without 7s!
