unfortunately, the fact that i have on-street parking (and thus no work space), thats its been raining all day today, and that my girlfriend uses the car all day has prevented me from pulling out the thermostat and checking it.

but, i was able to take it out for a quick run this afternoon. after the car had been on the road, i pulled over. top radiator hose was hot, and the small section of radiator to the right (dirvers side) of that was warm. the rest of the radiator, and also the lower radiator hose, was completely cold. running temps on the car showed around 85 degrees.

PO had said the thermostat was newer, but im assuming that its stuck. no?
