[QUOTE="mike202, post: 622271, member: 17202"] The type 1 engine thermostat is fitted above the tinware on r/h/s of engine beneath the push rod tubes. If you have one there you should have a rod linkage arrangement going to under the fan shroud. You can test the thermostat is working by gently heating it up from cold with a hair dryer/heat gun and it should expand, and this causes the flaps to open. If it is already expanded fully when cold, it is probably fubarred. The OG bellows thermostat fail in the 'flaps open' position. In the cold position (thermostat contracted) the flaps are partly closed to aid quicker heating up of the engine.
