Nothing to add to what the others have said about the brakes, but test the old thermostat, and test the new one of you do need a new one. Then you'll know for sure whether that's the problem or not.

Just throw it in a pot of hot water with a thermometer that goes up to 200 degrees F or so... heat the water, and observe when the 'stat opens. Should be around 180 degrees.

There are a lot of new, but faulty, 'stats out there on the shelves, so be sure to test the new one too.
