Hi everyone,

Following on from my last post re car cutting out its seems that the thermostat is sticking and needs replacing.

I have managed to get a replacement thermostat and the shop said it was fairly easy to replace it myself so as to save money but unsure as to the best way to fit. I know i need to remove the alternator but would appreciate some guidance as to the correct order to do things in. Have done a google search but can only find details for younger or older models of my car!!

Can anyone help?

Thank you in advance

Claire
