Thanks Richard re draining. I was a bit too hasty and didn’t spot the drain on the rad until I was underneath re-fixing the hoses.
Simon SiFab will cringe given that he thought to include the drain.
Also, I forgot to include the part numbers:
Housing = Ford part number 1707050
Thermostat = 1712228
Got them from the Ford eBay shop. £31.23 for the thermostat and £38.99 for the housing.
Would anyone know if the same part numbers are suitable for a 2015 2l Plus 4 GDi engine?
