  My car leaks engine coolant and a garage has told me the thermostat housing needs replacing. I've heard its a common problem on the focus. Cost is £163 (£105 is for the part, rest is labour and antifreeze). Seems expensive to me but this price is also quoted by other garages. Should

• Nissan Primera (1990 - 1996) - 1995 1.6LX replace thermostat - hard work ! 6 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  How hard can it be? Why is the area around the thermostat housing so cramped? Does the process of disconnecting & reconnecting the hose require the services of a contortionist? A wasted day, bad back and leaking coolant... Does anyone have any tips for phase II tomorrow? Nick.
• Citroen Xantia (1993 - 2000) - 97 1.9TD - oil in cooling system 28 May 2008 (Forum)
  My Xantia 1.9TD (1997) has suddenly pumped the contents of the sump into the cooling system such that black oil has erupted through the coolant filler cap (filler cap screwed fully in place)and is now dripping everywhere. Is this likely to be a cylinder head gasket blow or are there other

  Rover 420 SLDi. I had the coolant and brake fluid replaced yesterday for £37.50. ATS carried out the work. Their staff proved friendly and helpful. Well recommended. Two weeks ago they replaced the engine oil and filter, using Helix 10/40 & a Cooper filter for £22.99. All in a good place to use
• mayo in the oil filler 10 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  Hi, I just had a coolant leak fixed and an oil gasket replaced. The next day I saw some (not a lot) emulsion on the dipstick and can see more in the oil filler tube (on an MGF). Could this be caused by the engine being opened up to replace the gasket, letting moisture in, along with several days

• Thermostat fluctuation 25 Mar 2001 (Forum)
  My 91H 205 D turbo has just had a third cambelt and a coolant change. I thought I noticed temp. fluctuations before, but it is now obvious that during a long run, once the thermostat opens (after 5-6 miles) the temp. continues to cycle up and down approx. every 40-50 seconds. Does this indicate

  . Basically I 'nursed' it to the nearest petrol station where I checked the coolant level which appeared to be low, so I topped it up. But it still needed to be nursed (stop/start) home. I left it unused overnight to let it really cool down. I have used it again on a very short journey
• Hyundai Getz - Any Engine management experts out there? 15 Dec 2010 (Forum)
  the engine was cold.. There were no fault codes so I thought I would look at some data instead. Here's what I found: I sat in the car and the car's display said it was 46F outside = 7.7 C. My OBD software was saying the car's coolant was 8C and the intake air was 7C. I
• Ford KA - Radweld on Ford KA 53 plate 30 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  Hi, Would appreciate a little help - this will be a familiar story for you lot but looks like I'm leaking coolant/anti-freeze. It seems that I can go 50 miles or 200 miles and notice about the same amount of leakage (from max to quarter full) - it's never gone below that but I guess that's
