Title: Leaking thermostat housing
Post by fordscorp on May 4^th, 2006, 6:59pm

Hi everyone
I have a hairline crack in the thermostat housing on my
Scorpio Ultima.2.3 R reg Estate. I'm not a mechanic but what I seem to see is the housing appears to be all in one with the inlet manifold The part where it leaks is at the top and it seems to be made of plastic/bakelite. Has any of you Scorpio enthusists got a manifold for sale or any good advice where I can get one either from the
Birmingham/Wolverhampton area or by post? Any help would be greatly appreciated as being limited on walking
(due to a drunk driver nearly killing me 18 months ago)
I rely very much on my car and the cost of a new one is
way over my limit Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

is it the housing that attaches to the top rad hose or the manifold just behind the thermostat ??

if it's the manifold there is one on e-bay
