I still have my old plastic thermostat. How hard is it to open one? If I can get it out I'll give it a try.

Assuming that's what you mean?

I know this is slightly of topic mind ut I have to change the stat on mine. Do you really have to take the inlet manifold off, fuel rail etc.

Or can you just get by without removing half the car.
