Diesel thermostat change, no water pump removal or engine jacking.

Hi Matt great how to thanks for that

You said in your post :-

"The new thermostat (PEL100570L) went in past the rigid pipe with a lot of manoevering, and now the difficult bit of rebending the pipe back."

I haven't tackled this job yet, but I was wondering if this pipe needs bending back at all ?, or is it the case something else won't fit back, if it isn't.

Groover.
