MF165 (Perkins A4.212 engine) Last twice when used from cold has overheated and water escaped from the overflow tube. If I then fill up gin it heats and then settles and is fine. Looks like a dodgy thermostat (not opening well).Question is, where is the thermostat on this engine please!
 
Hi,
On the 212 engine there is a housing bolted to the front face of the cylinder head. Bolted to that is the connection for the top water hose. The thermostat is situated between these two housings and retained by two bolts.. It sounds like you have a thermostat problem. When removed place it in a container of boiling water and check to see if it opens.
