When connecting and pulling tight the cable for the thermostat I am pulling hard against the end of the thermostat and it seems the force is pulling the thermostat to it's length!! Is it now trashed or was it trashed and this is why it is doing this? I have read all the popular advice on the web and it doesn't seem to address this.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I would say it was trashed when you were doing the cable. Thermostats are in very short supply if not NLA. Someone is making do by modifying Type 1 thermostats; best solution I think short of opening the flaps by a hand lever (friend's car like that)

PS: I was curious about where Prescot is so I Mapquest'ed it. My son lives in St Helens while attending John Moore U in Liverpool.
