Nice to meet you, Kaonashi, since I'm new.
Ah, fun stuff today. I was so looking forward to all the extra services, and my daughter's car is overheating again. I'm going to try replacing the thermostat today, and she has my car.
It's been many years since I played mechanic. Trimmed my nails short, my hands are already dirty. I found the right size sockets. And I am now watching videos to make sure that's REALLY the thermostat housing before I remove it, but I'm afraid it is. I shouldn't complain. I'm sure a mechanic would laugh at me. It's probably a 5-minute job if I knew what I was doing, and there are MUCH more difficult parts to try to get to.
OTOH, reading troubleshooting articles, I'm starting to wonder why I didn't pursue something mechanical. I kind of like A leads to B, and if not, then C kind of reasoning. It could have suited me. Or maybe not. Maybe I'd get bored with it over time. But I like concrete ways of figuring things out.
(And I'm obviously stalling here ... )
