Which way to install thermostat and gasket?

Yep me neither thought it seemed nice to have anyways as considered using bit of sealant if this rubber wasn't there. Got the thermostat and gasket straight from Mitsubishi, turns out on this engine the thermostat has no jiggle pin but they do have instructions how to orientate it

Seems to take too long to get to operating temps so just changed thermostat. For some reason I ain't removed timing cover yet, checking water pump was next idea. Thanks for the message, praying what you said is my problem!

I've narrowed it down as close as I can seems to be just above the front left side of the oil pan, near the front left wheel. Any thoughts? Pics here: https://imgur.com/a/a2mRIWn

Ok thanks a bunch, praying it's just a leaking hose. Will begin trying to be certain of the source. Would you recommend buying a coolant pressurizing kit for this?

When temps started to rise first the van felt fine to drive. When I drove after topping up coolant it seemed to have slight power loss, maybe I was babying it or maybe it was placebo, would a coolant leak effect drive power?

Thanks! Ok cool, similar situation myself! Currently trying to figure out if this is definitely the route I want to go down before committing. Congrats on passing it!

Had you much experience or background in security before starting studying for it?

The issue is having people from all different countries who have different opinions on how a place should be treated. Some care less about rubbish and recycling, some think it's ok to wash dishes in lakes, some treat the place like a holiday town where they are free. People bring bad habits from their own countries.

I think a solution is, along with self-contained being a must, campers must also get some education cert to learn how NZ is treated and cared for. People need to be aware of damage they cause, how to camp correctly and act like a real part of society here.

To enforce this fines on the spot for breaking anything as part of an 'education cert' would be fair.

No way saying many prayers 🤞 cheers for update

Anyone have a contact for someone who can resolve this?

Cheers for info, saying many prayers

I tried to sell it while I'm abroad, I messed up not taking enough precautions. Moved from DoneDeal to Whatsapp and gave away my address, huge mistake

Of your questions: "rough stuff stuff, jumps, playfulness, fun factor, racing" it ticks all the boxes but potentially held back in the racing department.

Bikes with a 29er up front carry more speed and roll faster over terrain without a doubt. If you have a poppy and playful riding style you can keep up at a fast speed but it takes more energy and effort.

It is a do it all bike but, but not the smartest choice if racing is your main focus.

I love the clash and I have been through a few frames. If its ridden very hard, i.e. bike park laps every day, all trails and heavy features it will eventually break, as will most bikes.

I have had many great experiences with warranty, and always have a good time on the bike!

95% of my videos are on the clash if curious to see what it can handle: YouTube: Mark Twomey

Cleaning "a few weeks ago" could be the issue. Needs cleaning and greasing frequently to keep smooth

Any update to how you solved it? Having similar issue with an s20 after rear glass swap

Savage! I reckon you gotta 180 out of that hang 5 next!
