...to tighten ALL the jubilee clips up after replacing the thermostat :o

Been loosing a little coolant ever since the new pressure and temp remote thermostat went in. Finally found the problem. Bottom hose jubilee clip was loose. Oops :oops:

I'm actually amazed it didnt loose more given how loose it was :D

It's easy to get distracted when rebuilding anything. Should take the time to check then double check any bolts/fasteners but easier said than done. I always have mild panic attacks when doing rebuilds because I suddenly remember that I haven't checked one thing or another.

It's that moment when it's all back together but you have "extra" bits!!!
