        Thanks for all the help guys.....

        Is it an ultra urgent thing or can it wait a few weeks?

        My car is not being used as a daily driver at the moment...........

          no, not urgent...

          as you can see - half the guys posting in this thread have busted thermostats (some don't even know it...)

            look mines been doing that for like a while now im just to lazy to go buy a new thermostat and swap it out..

            and touch wood still runs well haha.. =P

            but its an easy swap to do with a bit of know how..

              yeah i'm curious to know now... if it happens to seize up... what is the worst that can happen? i'll see if i can get mine changed next service...

              any recommendations whether to go OEM or some other brand?

                worst that can happen:

                overheats engine and you blow a headgasket...

                  That'd be pretty hard wouldn't it Dave? Doesn't it only seize at open? thats why I haven't replaced mine with any urgency!.

                  Thanks for the link wlee2, looks easy enough.

                    Just a note - Running the engine "cold" all the time also increases engine wear.
