Not what Blue Estate will be expecting...

I bought a mk5 turbo thermostat housing from Transit Parts UK on ebay (the ones with the blue border)http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290806921718? ... 1439.l2649 - only because I couldn't find one anywhere else. When the box came I thought it was a bit on the heavy side. Opened it up and inside was a turbo thermostat housing... but instead of the brittle plastic it was made of a cast metal! Other than being a bit heavier its spot on, no more cracked housing when trying to get a thermostat out etc!

Im quite pleased with the purchase!
