ok, so my old rover isnt technically a peugeot, but the engine is....
the waxstat has stuck in the "cold" position on my XUD. i'm draining the coolant in a few weeks to change the waterpump, so i'll take care of it properly then. until then, am i ok to just disconnect the cable? i dont mind having to increase the idle with my foot in the mornings til it's up to temperature
TIA

If the waxstat doesn't work, disconnecting the cable won't alter anything. Back in the early 80's when Ford didn't have their own diesel engines, they used a Peugeot one. I had one in an old Sierra. When the waxstat broke, Ford spares didn't have a clue what I wanted. In the end I disconnected the wire and fitted up a choke cable to the dash board.
