As I have said in my OP above when Dr Dave got to my plastic thermostat it was in fact okay and this was at close to 100K miles...

The leak I had was from the small hose clip which was changed later. But to be honest I still feel more confident with Kaiser's metal version although I had to change the clips at a later date for jubilee type ones.

Even if some people refit a plastic one they should replace the hose clips with Jubilee ones.

But if anyone is going to go to the effort of replacing the thermostat then to be honest the metal one wins hands down. Fit and forget.
