Busy with everything.The older I get the busier I seem to be.You guys might have seen this - I spent a little while looking at parts cost and failure frequency on the cars we run.

Hmmmm, "ghosts in the shed"...or another failing thermostat on the horizon, most likely the latter, had one 50k miles ago.Done some heavy mileage this weekend, 610 miles to be precise.Along with the blower motor not working only on #4, a new relay didn't fix the issue, worth a shot! I have received the new resistor in the post, and will fit when I get some time back home.Averaging 50mpg over those miles this weekend, bloody happy with that still, cheaper than a friggin' diesel with the crazy pump prices currently!Edited by 7 5 7 on Sunday 27th September 20:49 Willing to bet it's a thermostat. They're notorious on the 1.8 petrol. I didn't bother with mine, just spotted the temp gauge was always cold unless in heavy traffic. Heater still worked and I wasn't checking the economy so it stayed as is. I wasn't spending £8 to fix an issue that was costing me way more in petrol, absolutely not.
