"Winter" Thermostat?
TimC - 6/3/11 at 12:11 PM

Hello folks,

Long story short - ancient Vauxhall tin top is running far too cold on my GF's daily commute - the thermostat is working - I replaced it last year and it's better than it was (was stuck open.)

Does anyone know where there's a list of thermostat specs with switching points that I can have a look at?

Cheers

TC
