Is there anyone else out there that has been caught out with a faulty Tridon thermostat.Late last year I gave my cooling system an overhaul including a full system flush and new coolant blah blah blah.This was done to my VN SS my once a month weekend toy,Car hardly gets driven but started regulary.I noticed after drive a fortnight ago that the car was bleeding coolant.I went back over the cooling system to pinpoint the problem without a pressure tester,lo and behold I found a burst heater hose which indicated to me a pressure problem in the system.Which to me indicated thermostat,Pulled out the thermostat placed it in a pot of water brought up to boiling point guess what faulty thermostat would not open.So what I suggest to anyone who works on there own car is to check new thermostats before installing them as they can be buggered from brand new.
