Looking at the RAVE pictures trying to work out out if my thermostat is working ok or even fitted. looks to me like the thermostat is fitted to stop water entering the head from the radiator. When looking at the engine the right had hose heats hot quickly. Is this normal?
 
I`d agree with that. Should go from cold to half way mark in few minutes/ coupla miles and stay there. Missing or stuck open.
Don`t wanna panic but if missing, ask yourself why? Sloppy maintenance/owner or trying to hide over-heating probs? Prob just failed in safe open position.
