kool sound like a easy fix then i need a flush too so yeah sound like a gud timing but i will need to do it after april tho u think its ok to hang in there for a lil longer?

Ehh not sure. Running cold would have to be better than running hot... Not sure if it would do any damage. Soop?

Bad for engine as until the engine is at normal operating temp engine wear and tear is at its greatest.

Dont worry too much, its not as if the engine is tearing itself apart.

That's the thing though, it won't warm up because your thermostat is stuck open - thus allowing coolant to flow through the engine ALL the time.
Normally it opens and closes when the engine reaches a certain temp.

Its kind of NO thermostat at all, if you are sure nobody played with last repair then you have problem with it need to change, Most of them stuck closed not open, If so then the thermostat ran normally in summer , but in winter is so bad since it would wasting more gas with engine effected either
