    164 12v thermostat housing bleed screw cap - brass

    Anyone got a spare as mine has a hairline crack at the base of the little brass flange and the 14mm hex head. Wondered where I was losing water. Now I know. Leak appears at top operating temperature.

    would also be happy to buy off the shelf if anyone onows which shelf!!

    Hi,

    I've probably still got one old my old engine but won't be able to check until tomorrow and will let you know then if that's any help.

    Thanks both.

    Guy sent you my address.

    hope to get out for another drive on Thurday or Friday as meant to be dry down here!!

    sorted sticky throttle and tweaked front suspension settings to get a base line.

    Very poor those plugs. I found a brass insert with the right thread and replaced the Alfa plug with the insert and a plug from my box of plumbing bits.

    The one I sent Tim went missing in the post, Christmas card arrived but the post had the bleed screw away so Tim's back to square one and I don't have another spare one.

    Can anyone else help?

    Hi Tim,

    Just taken the bleed screw off my old engine, PM me your address if you still need one and I'll post it off to you on Monday.
