What about your landcrab, is that driveable?

[Maxhead]

The viscous fan feel fine it has good resistance
Easy saying send your patrol here and there
I dont get a full pay each week I wish I did.
Im going to doctors ,chemists etc all the time and for the missus
this should have been fixed last week. My "injury" has turned my world up side down
I cant go sending my patrol here and there for repairs its just not on.
I sit here every day hearing ppl saying I done this and that it brings me to tears.
Dont you think Id like a reliable cruiser, with all the bells and whistles, I love my Patrol like no other
As its the one nice thing I have. All I want ATM is the thermostat housing off
so I can get all that copper matting out, Sorry vent over but Im only on a Disability support pension
like some others here

John, I think you need to stop playing the sympathy card and get onto the subject of sorting your car out. Tell the truth and stop fucking around!

I have an idea. Before removing the thermostat. Because you think this stff you used has blocked it yes? I have an inspection camera. We could use this to see it there is any blockage.
I dont mind helping where i can mate but i dont want to be removing the thermostat if its not blocked. Its not an easy job.

Just telling it as it is, if you want to call it something else so be it.
As for the Troopy its out of reg so thats out of the question.
@ mark you think your light will reach the thermostat??
Just PM a time Ill make sure motor is cold

John, I finish shifts between 7-8pm next week or so, I could pop over and give you a hand, won't take me long to your place from tulla. But whether that is late for you or not, I don't know. I've never removed the thermostat on the 3L, and from what Mudski said, and from what I've quickly glanced through the manuals, it's not a quick job and would be dark and stuff, but so be it.
I like what Mark suggested though with the camera, before disassembling a whole lot...
Offer is there mate.

I did my water pump last year, the pump was fine but the viscus hub was shot, the hub and pump are not available separately on the DI motors.
when I turned the fan, I could not feel any difference between hot or cold.
It was not to difficult, to change, but a pita to get to some of the bolts.
The electric fan on the air-conditioning condenser on my truck cycles on and off, depending on the temp.
I do not think the hub is your problem, my temp would go up slowly, and it never boiled.

Good idea Mark just drop the bottom hose
if it blocked the crap will fallout well some
of it but as said John its a bugger of a job

Time to liquidate some assets, you seem to have a shed full of treasures.

Parting with stuff collected might not be easy.

When times are tough, tough decisions need to be made
