So what did you do to your Disco today?

Couldnt sit still, so i decided to throw the 88C stat that I had into the truck. What a f#%king disaster. Stat went in fine, however it uncovered additional isses, that i keep telling myself would have bit me in the *** sooner or later. Old stat was stuck wide open, now it runs hot all of the time. Both top hoses started to leak under the pressure and coolant could be heard boiling up top. Turned her off and got my man Pauly G on speedtext. After some poking and prodding it looks to be 2 issues , bad water pump and defiantely need to get my radiator cleaned out. Ive added all new coolant hoses to the menu for saturday morning as well as the above. Christ , after 350K on my Infiniti and Toyota and only changing oil and filters on those , this things a bitch. But it wouldnt be half the fun, would it ?
All this for a lousy brush guard . Thanks Ed !! J/K

Replaced all top radiator hoses and new clamps. Noticed the water temp switch wires had corroded out of the plug and werent attached. Boogered those back together , fired it up , let it run for an hour and she stuck at 8:30 ! Noticed the front fans went on. I dont think Ive ever heard them before. Evidently the water temp switch triggers the A/C fans to run in hot conditions ? Im gonna solder those up later . Dodged the water pump bullet , i think but still getting radiator bathed and bored.
