Is there anyway to decide which is the top of the thermostat when fitting, when theres no arrow or mark?. Its a QH thermosta and has THT i think stamped on but thats it.

mate, it should only fit in the housing one way. Just take careful note when taking the old one out..

Ive looked online and all the ones ive seen going by the support across the thermostat, is positioned 11 o'clock, 5 o'clock if you know what i mean. Also reading its a common prob that they jam open which i think whats happend to mine.

When you take the old stat out, put the new one back in the same position. Should only go in one way but you might be able to rotate it. It shouldn't really matter how it is rotated when it sits in the block.
Have you got the means to remvoe the thermo viscous fan coupling? You need a thin spanner 32 or 36mm plus means to stop the water pump pulley from rotating. You will need to remove the water pump pulley to get in to remove the thermostat housing cover.

Just a thought but have you got a new thermostat housing?
The rubber seal on mine had gone as I had noticed a leak from it. It also happend at the same time as when the thermostat had failed.
You have to take the stat housing off (obviously), at that age the rubber may have perished slightly and it doesn't quite seal properly when you put it back together. Hopefully yours will be o.k.

Ive got a bid on a ally housing but just going to wing it and see what happens for the mo as when weather lifts i will flush out system and replace water pump with metal impeller one and hopefully an ally housing. If anthing goes Pete Tong, will just mean i cant use car till its sorted but weather is crap anyway at the mo

New stat in, bleed easily, temp stays bang on half regardless and box changes much better as cooler is warming up. Drives like a different car. A mahoosive thanks the Andy W for being grease monkey AND sorting me bits oot that hung low
