Hi, Thanks for the reply's. Forgot to mention when i went to install the new low opening thermostat I found there to be no thermostat installed!! There is a flow and return pipe to the radiator with a extra water pump to help the existing engine water pump. The main concern is space available in the small boot.

I am looking for you some advise on engine cooling, the only thing is we have a Classic Mini with a Starlet 4e-fte engine fitted. The radiator is mounted in the boot with the boot floor cut out to make a scoop. We are running the pipes under the car up to the engine. The radiator is a standard mini front mounted type. The core size is approx 350mm X 220mm. After doing some research into radiator types, it looks like the standard Starlet size rad is approx 600mm X 300mm and a half size is approx 350mm X 350mm. The set up has a 10" fan mounted on the rear of the radiator which is switched via

Ah thanks for the information. I have contacted my local Toyota dealer and the part number has change to having a 1 on the end now. Didn't mean they had one in stock thou!!!

Hi all, I have taken my intake manifold of the car to carry out some work. I have ordered a new gasket which has arrived, the only thing is the new gasket does not cover the water outlet in the block! Have i ordered the gasket for the wrong engine type. I have ordered one for a ep82. Do i need a different one? If so which one? There is no whole in the intake manifold but i need a gasket to stop the water coming out of the block. Many Thanks Stuart Starlet engine in a round nose mini !!!!
