Subject: Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: 2+2 overheating

Did a bit more research and as Bill said, it seems all the plastic ones have 
been self destructing.
I guess that's why people are after £85 on ebay for scruffy alloy ones.

It seems it would be worth getting the shear off bolt(s) removed and reusing 
the alloy housing.

Only the very first ones had the main housing in alloy, then it was switched to 
the same brown/black plastic as the pipe inlet.

I'm surprised there aren't any plastic ones on Ebay, but they all seem to be 
the later Zetec ones with the push in fittings for the temperature sensor.

Mind you that said those bolts seemed very tight as well...
Looks like the plastic housing is available at my local motor factor.
I've attached a photo to help...

This car hasn't been used regularly for a long time 
Initially the engine ran at normal temp; then on a warm day I noticed the temp 
rising and not stopping. The fan hadn't kicked in as I would have thought.
The fan works hard wired and now works when the engine is running hot.
What would cause the temp to rise; are there any common weak points? 
Is it the water pump or ?
Thanks

That must be a very early Zetec, or somebody fitted a early stat housing.
Only the very first ones had the main housing in alloy, then it was 
switched to the same brown/black plastic as the pipe inlet.
