transit overheating ish

[NoRush]

Pulled thermostat out and it didn't look right. Placed in boiling water and it didn't seem to do anything so have removed it completely. Just done a test run and the temp stayed normal. I hope this has sorted it. Radiator is in good condition and clean. Thanks for the advice

I'd get a new thermostat if it were me.

They are in there for a reason.

They are but in this type of weather they can be a pain. Had to modify a tractor thermostat once in the middle of harvest due to overheating never overheated again. Stayed cold in winter though. I will reinstate mine when summer is over

We had a ford tractor that did not have one for years as it would not behave with one in.

Still blew the head twice over the years though

Just picked up the new one and the old one had broken. Part of the brass centre bit had broken at the top
