[doc] Re: thermo time switch part numbers

["blackaddertoo" <blackaddertoo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Daniel

For the sake a the few quid, i'm going to replace the temp guage 
sender and the otterstat switch as well.
was going to order from specialTauto, along with trailing arm cover 
bolt kit (stainless) air duct (the one near the stove).

am also soon going to take the plunge and take off the intake 
manifold as the leak is bugging me and i don't want the coolant to 
eat into my engine.
once there i might as well do all the other sensors, have a clean 
out, plugs etc.
not looking forward to that one.

regards

Steve
