Nah bud they aren't the right ones. Mine are the festoon type. Just wondered if anyone has used any LED ones?
Drove the beautiful machine that is the 265 after a week in a hire car skiing steering feel and chassis just un.real. And the diff in this weather, bliss!
Tinted the windows 1st ever attempt. Failed with the rear window though. Anyone got any tips on doing it?
It's one of them things where some people say you need one and some say you don't. I have always used one in the past but on this im going to run without one and see what temps I actually get. I will then fit an inline thermostat and see what happens then. I will know for sure then what difference it actually makes. Ive never really liked the idea that the thermostat mounted on the sandwich plate lets roughly 10 percent of the oil bypass the thermostat too.
it will run too cold. simple. I have an oil cooler and the sandwich plate once the thermostat is open allows a lot of the oil to go through. Its generally race cars or very high temp countries that don't use a stat.
Its the 10% that always goes through the oil cooler whether the thermostat is open or closed that bothers me with thermostatic sandwich plates. This way nothing goes to the cooler until the oil is at the desired temperature. Its a good chance for me to see what differences there is thats all.
What? without a thermostat the oil will circulate round the rad all the time. If the oil in 10 degrees or 80 degrees. The reason it lets 10% through is so the oil isn't cold when the thermostat opens common sense really.
Wow i really do give up. You've already said above that 10% of oil goes through the sandwich plate irrelevant if its closed or open. Thats true so the oil in the cooler isn't like 20degrees different in temp to cause issue when it opens fully. It you run without a stat on that cooler in the winter you WILL have issues of the oil not getting up to temp
Wish you would. Either your not reading what I put or you don't understand it. I won't be running without a thermostat for more than a day or two. After that I will be fitting a mocal in line thermostat. I don't want a thermostatic sandwich plate as the oil will reach thermostat opening temperature quicker if the 10% wasn't going through the oil cooler.
Refitted the dash in the daily after having heater matrix, water pump and cambelt done. These were left over... Weight saving?
More to the point that tattoo gotta hurt in the palm of your hand, I've got from elbow to over my shoulder covered, but Palm of hand fook that lol
Where did you get the sandwich plate from? I've got one to go on with my temp sensor, but yours looks to be much better quality.
It came as a kit. They sell them separately but only with AN8 fittings mine is AN10. Im actually quite surprised by it to be honest. Thought it might go in the bin but it looks ok.
