Re: Cooling problems, update

DMC Joe, Ryan, Dave,

I'd love to test the thermostat myself, however, due to the setup of the
engine (with turbo kit completely obstructing the waterpump) I'm going
to leave this one up to the shop. Disassembly of the turbo might not be 
a problem, but assembly may be (gaskets and all). Besides, the shop is
equipped with pressure tester and the right tools (I assume), whereas I
only have a wrench set and a hammer (again, useful for disassembly, but
not for assembly :).

Assuming the thermostat is stuck (water doesn't cycle, pump seems to
work, car has been garaged 8 years), is this a repairable item? Or is it
non-servicable? If it isn't repairable, is it a common item, or is it
specific for the DeLorean water pump? I ask this because I'm in the
Netherlands, and if I need to order a new one that may take several days
(or longer) to arrive plus I would like to combine that order with 
other stuff I need for this car. So that might take some planning in 
advance.

Thanks,

Sacha
