As I said in my original post I had no problems with the plastic thermostat. I did have a slight leak which I discovered; once we got into the "V", to be coming from the hose clip. None of this had been disturbed as far as I know and I have had the car for 7 years. As my last picture shows it has done 109K with the original thermostat. I have now done 1145 miles since the metal one has been installed. Gave it a good run 87 miles today and no problems.

I don't think I will ever put the old one back as the thermostat itself could be on the blink so I wont take the chance. I'll stick with the metal one for now.
