Freelander 1.8 Petrol '54' plate.
I'm getting overheating problems on the above. I suspected the thermostat so ordered a NSTPEL10016 from Paddocks.
Started the strip down this afternoon and I have stripped off the full thermostat and housing assembly expecting to be able to open up the housing.
Thing is I suspect the housing assembly is sealed, I can't see a way in to it without causing damage to it.
Are these style units supposed to be opened, if so how? Bayonet turn, prise open, screw off?
What I bought looked more like the pic below though, which looks slightly different to the one I can see inside my housing.
