I was going step by step with this article on flushing and refitting a new thermostat etc etc. But as I've just put it all back together this happened...
The fluid is leaking out of here. I sort of knew it would because before I filled it, if I squeezed that tube there, it would bubble underneath the thermostat housing. I also knew because the fellow who wrote the article said that the gasket should be adhesive on one side and it was not adhesive. It was just like a piece of cotton or fibre. I got it from Repco... I don't know whether I was meant to personally apply adhesive to the gasket or what.
So now I'm stuck I guess.
Any ideas? Go back to Repco and scream hellfire at them? Lol.
