Thermostat housing not hose. That silver thing is the thermostat housing. Held down by two 10mm bolts. Doesn't look like yours has a gasket though. Should be ok to dismantle and open up. Check that your thermostat is working. Easiest way to see if it opens and closes is to clean it up, and dunk it in boiling water.

Ok,noted thx. Last time I flush the radiator while the car is idling forgot to mention. After flushing I will rev and let the water come out.

If it is premix then can. If concentrated then have to mix with water.......

This is a premixed coolant. Once you flush, you fill with this coolant only. Don't mix with anymore water. Yes why not?

Wira update.

Before I flush my coolant I felt something went wrong to my car. The temperature is quite high and also when the temperature is high my aircond start blow warm air. After checking is one of my fan motor & blade rosak. A RM150 job.

After changing it the car now run good and cold.
And I still haven't flush my radiator. Hahahahahaha

Yes,I bought a Mivec hood. I think is real one since is a metal one not fiber and is RM80.....juz need to cement it and spray or wrap it and is like a new thing.

And also the guy who sold me the hood very nice gv me a sample for the nut needed to fit to my crossmember. After fitting and yes. No shaking feel while you down shift and.

Wah finally got a mivec hood. But this time will it disconnect and fly up again? Very dangerous if it happens again.

Are you going to do a hood pin latch? Cuz it sounds like your original latch doesn't hold tightly.

He say this is metal one, should have the original latch (hopefully)........lol

Will test fit 1st then only decide need to install hood pin. I also got the original latch from the owner from the car.

RM80 is very cheap. Good find.

Looks ori but ori needs to modify the latch slightly. Front looks dented but I suppose you can have mudguard fella fix it for you. Unsure if extra putty may cause paint delamination later.

Putty for uneven surface, not for deep dents. Too thick later will crack and peel. Need mudguard guy to panel beat then putty back......lol

Maybe by killing off the engine, it's trying to save you more fuel.

Try checking your ilde control valve
