Hi

Hope someone can throw some light on a recent problem. For the past 18 months my 3.0 Citation X reg has got up to temp (needle half way up gauge) very quickly. It has started to take a little longer over the past month and now the needle hardly moves from cold. Also the idle/tickover has become eratic and fluctuates between 500 and 800rpm, doesn't stall but sometimes I think it might. Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks Eithan.

At the risk of sounding thick, can you tell me where the thermostat is located.

Cheers

Jim.

follow the top hose to the engine and it goes to a domed unit held down with 2 12mm bolts it's under there
