[doc] Re: thermo time switch part numbers

["blackaddertoo" <blackaddertoo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi

thanks Mike.

i will check but wondered after 5 mins the ground through to the 
cold start valve should still be there? water would be cool still.

i wondered if the bimetalic strip inside is functioning correctly ie 
once it activates, it does not reset for ages or sticks untill stone 
cold.
i suspect this part as the car starts fine when powering up the cold 
start valve.
can't be too much wrong know with my cold start system.

incidently, ran the car for a few quite a long time, water pipe to 
left of engine got fairly hot temperature guage barely crawled up 
scale, just above cold. no fans kicked in (have jumped fans-they 
work)

how long should this engine run from cold to normal temp and then to 
fans on if left idling?
am a bit nervous as i don't want to overheat.

i plan on changing the temp sensor for guage and fans asap.
Also the relay in the left hand corner of my 'box' is missing and 
some jumpers installed-not sure whats going on here!.

now in the process of removing the front bumper-sheared bolts etc.
