Thermostat housing probs

Isn't there ment to be a umm don t know how to explain it, but like an 'O' sort of clip that goes over it? My housing didn't come with it I had to use it from the original one.

You should be able to see a tiny groove all the way round just above the ring? it goes in there.

yeah mate. An inner circlip. The problem is the seal keeps falling in. Thanks anyway

Yep just had the same thing, was eating them, you should have a circlip that sits over it, the new ones i've noticed are a piece of wire, the one i had was a flat type.

Trying to think what mine was but i used a brass thread from the end of a shock absorber i think, fit in there perfectly just cut it down.

Instead of a inner circlip? or as a kinda Sheath to hold it in??

Sorry, I missed the most important bit...

I made a brass Oring to replace the rubber O ring, with the circlip holding the brass ring in.

It seals as it should do and won't fall in a heap. It is probably better then the Oring as it won't dissapear. I only got half of the oring back last time.

Probably just things are getting cheaper quality, previously i'd never had a problem with them.
