Did you fill the tank, do the miles and then refill the tank to calculate actual consumption or is that figure from the onboard computer?

I do like reading posts about trouble free motoring. ![Icon Toast](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_toast.gif)
Difficult to see clearly in the box but the Thermostat Housing looks as if the body may be roughcast unlike this one where the body has a satin finish:

I got a roughcast one from a UK supplier and the top thread was very poorly machined. it wouldn't allow a watertight seal. Make sure the cap on the one you have screws on evenly and tightly before you start dismantling.
