Can anyone confirm that the throttle heater takes it's water feed from a little spigot at the nearside back of the block, just underneath the head, and that it returns to the thermostat housing?

Cheers!

I'm trying to sort out the water feeds and returns to me turbos :)

It's a 1985 M20 2.5 BTW if that makes a difference.

Cheers!

Yes, you're 100% correct.

The feed is from the side of the block and returns to the bottom of the thermostat housing.
