Ok, ...how long does a 33 takes to warm up if the thermostat works.
It will need a lot more time if the thermostat is blocked to fully open, until all the water gets hot!!!
Ok, I'm convinced that I got a faulty thermostat, so I changed with my spare one that was taken from my old engine, but when turned on the car I noticed that the engine started to warm up quicker and went for a drive, sh*t...,when cruising there is just a little of difference in the temp, from 60*C that used to stay with the old thermo, this one makes the temp stay to 70*C or below but always under 80*C
Hmmmm...this other one is rubbish too,

Ok than knowing the importance of the engine temp I decide to by a new one, but in all the ''part shops'' they answered in the same way: We don't have that item....
Finally I got someone who can order from Italy [I hope]
Finally some luck.

Cheers,
Elvis
