temp gauge and heating issue?

[TonyW]

Hi all,

Firstly, I have done a bit of a search on here as there are of course many many posts on many .... many topics but not sure I've found quite the right answer.

We have a 1995 petrol V6, first UK owners and pretty sure everything is original on it.

The temp gauge has stopped rising, even after dual carriageway driving and plenty of time to warm up. Along with this it seems the heating is not ... well ... heating. Sure this is all linked.

Any suggestions? Perhaps thermostat?

IF ...... it's a case of needing to replace the thermostat .... does anyone know if this is something a limited experienced techie (me) could do and if anyone knows of a Youtube walkthrough/factsheet? (I've had a look and can't find a Bongo specific video).

Thanks in advance for your uber-bongo-knowledge.

Tony.

The front of the V6 engine is a pig to get at and needs access from underneath here are the locations;

Thanks, got it booked in for front shocks and thermostat replacement.

Ian's about to get an order from the shop ..... does anyone know where to get the full casing gasket which does not come with the thermostat?

Thanks.
