Thermostat?
Fri, 13 Nov 2009 13:17:58 +0000

And yet bizarrely, I can return to my car half an hour later and the
lower pipe has now warmed up!
Im guessing the thermostat is stuck thou ...

Clunk when braking turns out to...

Was driving me nuts, I checked the wishbone, tie rod and ends, rear
engine mount, gear linkages, etc etc and turns out to be the pads in the
carriers not seated properly.
The fault was when you reverse brake, CLUNK. But if you reverse, slip
