[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 631364, member: 20098"] Cheers, Si, yes that is a big help. Not as many washers as I was expecting - I figured that there’d be something to stop the linkages from flapping around, but they seem to have been designed to be mega floppy, presumably to reduce any chance of the thermostat from not being able to operate them. After a thorough degrease, I’ve also twigged that there are no plastic bushes and the flaps just pivot on some kind of press-in metal bush. That’s one less thing to have to try and replace! I’m going to give them a quick wire wheel and hopefully be able to give them a lick of paint. There are two little rubber buffers for the flaps to rest against when they are open / closed (can’t remember which way round they are) which I’ve ordered something that I think will work as a suitable replacement.
