A friend out with an 01 V8 Land Rover, overheating
Rad , pump, and 2-3 LOWER hoses with a Y coupling and somehow they sure the stat is in the lower/suction hose.....and in this chilly 50f weather the POS still over heats.....some how they insist the lower/return hose has the stat built into it in some stupid configuration I never heard of....
So Fernando bought this rig, and Johnny on the phone remembering some issue from 17 year ago with his '68 GTO.....and hoping I can come out with a rabbit outta the hat somehow....so I asking....
BTW two of the stats/hoses are from one MFG at say 80- bux each, and another from ISRAEL supposedly for ~110 bux....all 3 same shit....
water pump is 130 bux, and been changed already....
top hose is HOT, bottom hose is cold/cool engine overheating.....
rad/pump/stat-hoses are new.....
I think to just put in a kludge in the bottom hose, with no stat, and see what happens.....
who in hell ever puts a stat in the return hose to the engine???
I not seen the vehicle, but going by a phone call a few minits ago....
anyone???
