THERMOSTAT

TRY AGAIN AND TELL EVERYONE WHAT CAR AND WHAT YOUR PROBLEM IS IN SOME DETAIL.

I have removed hoses from Spotraks and never found a therostat in them which seems to be what your sentence suggests.

Thermostat

The thermostat is located in the housing at the bottom of the engine, below the power steering pump, with the radiator hose connected to the housing.

I believe that certain Toyota engines also have the thermostat at the bottom.

It makes it slightly more difficult to change, but it takes me about 10-15 mins start to finish.

Thermostat

Hi SPORTRAKWILTSHIRE,

That sounds logical as I was told many years back that the lump in the Sporty is a Toyota engine, badged Daihatsu.
