    So, day 3 of Laguna ownership, and I drove to work as normal (yesterday I had to go a different way due to traffic so it wasn't a fair test) but today I did the exact same route I've done for 4 years in a few different cars. The temp gauge took about 10 miles of fairly fast A road to move at...

    Today I have attempted to change the thermostat in our 53 plate clio. I have been able to remove the housing but cannot for the life of me work out how to open it to get to the thermostat itself.
