RE: [doc] upside down thermostat!!!

["Chris Parnham" <chrisparnham1@xxxx>]

That's a new one on me Alan!

But it does illustrate some of the potential problems of buying a car that
was not fully running and on the road.

You want to try one where some mad French garage has Turbo-charged, and
blown up the engine! Frenchy.....ongoing.......

Hi all,

Just had to tell you this story........ I have just taken the thermostat
housing apart to replace the thermostat (the engine was getting very hot
very soon). As soon as the housing was off I could see that the thermostat
was bent up and in upside down..... the bottom of the thermostat had touch
the top of the housing and when the bolts were tight the thing had totally
bent up.....very handy!!!.

Thankfully the engine is fine, but it is a warning to others.. ( I think I
have seen it all now.)
