Just after conformation - does the water flow go head, off side sill, rad, near side sill, oil cooler, engine? Need to fit a fan controller.

Is it me or is the thermostat at the wrong end of the rad circuit? (the diagram is right, the car is designed wrong!!)

Apparently the thermostat is the inlet side for an alloy engine and cast iron blocks have them on the outlet
Also helps with emissions
But mine is on the outlet with the electric water pump set up

Thats how I reckoned it should be. Guess there's people cleverer than I am that say it should be on the inlet. Perhaps winstar will be along to explain.

Doesn't the heater circuit activate the thermostat? If not it would never open. Or do the thermostats have a small bypass to allow some flow?
