Just gone to replace the thermostat on my E28 (due to poor fuel consumption and some dodgy temperature readings).

Took the housing off and the car didn't have one in! Other than the aforementioned fuel consumption issues would this have had any other effect on the car? When putting the housing back on I managed to crack it (d'oh!) so haven't been able to take it out for a test drive yet! Specifically, will not having a thermostat have had an effect on the power the car was putting out... He asks, hopefully!
