Just a note to say, anyone with a stuck automatic cold start on a DW8, just disconnect it by removing the nodule from the end of the cable.
Mine now idles at 800rpm, and still starts fine.
I can still drive it 'on the clutch' and it is a lot quieter ticking over.
I have a new one, but fitting it is more of a job than I'd thought, as it senses the coolant temperature but is manually operated by expansion rather than being an electrical sensor.
Thought I'd give it a go without, and it's fine. A pointless item, when a light touch on the accelerator does the same job.
