Thermostat, Thermostat, Thermostat...... LoL, its more common than EGR or DMF problems at the moment. Tambo I even did a How2 just for us 1.8 owners a week or so ago mate. You'll get a thermostat off Ebay for £9 delivered and its about a 45 minute job mate.

You'll also need OAT Red Antifreeze, 3lt minimum, and some instant gasket seal too.
