Kaiser's Thermostat
Hi everybody
I am just about to have a 'Kaiser's' metal bodied thermostat fitted to my 2 ltr V6 petrol. Is it a very big job to have it fitted by my local garage ? At the same time I am having the engine breather hose pipes being changed with complete kit supplied by Rimmers.. Again is that a big job ? The original thermostat was leaking slightly, and the garage also mentioned the 'T' piece was leaking. I not sure which 'T' piece they were referring to. Would it be the same 'T' piece that Rimmers have supplied with the engine breather hose kit? I'm a bit out my depth here so can any one help. Thankyou trimani (Alf) |

The T piece would be the top breather pipe it is just unplug and push part easy to fit, check out my link below and you will get a drift of what is what, but I should imagine the garage will take off the manifold etc when they do yours. http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...1&postcount=27 http://i61.tinypic.com/rkn535.jpg |
The breather pipes live under here, a 10 min job to replace.

Make sure they change the two paper inlet manifold gaskets !

Biggy Thanks every one for the piccies and advice. I did consider trying it myself, but with your submissions have decided that's a no-no, so the garage gets the job ( With appropriate comments from you to him via me :D). I will be very diplomatic :D

Now that is interesting - I thought that the housing was metal, but that the plastic pipes were still used. It looks good.
