Thanks for your insight, Dave.
Thermostat: yes, a new 92 will go in when I get back to London.
Leak taste: that's good to hear!
I'll check first from underneath and if necessary, take the carpets up.
You don't think that vent behind the passenger kick panel is likely?
Re. the turbo coolant pipes blocked with ancient K-Seal: took a few hours to soak and clean them out but was very satisfying. Car ran really well after the refit, but last September it was written off in Kennington Lane by two idiots in a stolen van, who decided in stationary traffic to do a rapid u-turn without looking. Within a minute they'd scarpered, leaving the Elephant & Castle traffic backed up for miles. Lucky I was only doing 25 at the time; 30% of the front offside was caved in, but the front of the van turned into a pile of plastic.
