Possible reason to overheating and pressure
Hey everyone,
We have had some overheating and excessive pressure in the top rad hose and may know why now. A friend of mine and fellow Rover owner called and said check that the hoses are on correctly coming off the top of the t-stat and not backwards. I checked the Rave manual and put the hoses on then today double checked them with an image I had on my phone and was shocked.
I noticed they were going a different way and want to know which is the correct way?
Does this matter?

Never mind, I see the orientation of the Thermostat is reversed. I believe the top diagram is correct. Side pipe goes to the water pump.

I will be doing that tomorrow but I will also be ordering the 180 degree t-stat from Land Rover and replacing the suspect one that is in the truck now. A buddy of mine has a fairly new spare rad that I will be trying as well to see if that my be a problem area.
