follow the top rad hose to the engine, thats the stat hosing undo that, take old stat out,put new one in, bleed the system and away u go. YOur heater could be loads of things, air lock, knacered matrix. |

fill with air squeeze pipes until the air stops comign from the bleed screw, run for a while and repeat. might need to do this 20 or so times or once only depends on your luck. |
