Well crap. After watching videos on tstats in boiling water I'm starting to think I didn't put my tstat in correctly. I bought it from the dealership right around the corner from me. It's in pieces just like the one that I took out. Every tstat I've ever dealt with was in one piece. I just thought this one was different and really didn't think about it like an idiot. NOw I realize it has no way to open and close.

When I had my 98 XK8, I had so many problems with the car, including coolant leak, seatback breaking off, and the same "fan running after engine turned off" problem that I never could find the cause. Was quite relieved when I finally sold it. Beautiful car, but not worth the trouble. Now it seems many Jaguar gremlins are a recurring theme in the new models as well. For shame!

It's an 07, not exactly brand new. Not sure that would be a reliability issue. This is my 2nd Jag, the other we had for over 100k miles and hardly had any issues at all with it. They're cars, all cars have things that wear out on them.

Snide, I'm too embarrassed to say how I installed it. It was turned the wrong way. It's probably the dumbest thing I've ever done while working on a car but I'll have to fess up. When I disconnected the housing with the old one in it the old one just flew out so I didn't know how it went in. Instead of looking it up I just went with it. I literally had it going the wrong direction.

I'm just hoping the radiator doesn't have a crack in it because I don't feel like taking all of that out. Saying that, if it doesn't then I'm going to be pissed at the Euro house I took it to.
