overheating 97 xk8

Don't take any risks over heating a Jaguar V8. It's an engine killer.
The thermostat has to come out to check it opens at the right temperature or even opens at all. Heat it in a pan of water and check with a thermometer for the temperature at which it opens.
I like this technique for two reasons:
1. it's simple
2. it drives my wife to distraction when I do vehicle maintenance in the kitchen
