I have e mailed the British supplier re the hole but it is probably too late for everybody now.
I tried standing the housing on end with the 1 1/2" uppermost and pouring water into it. It drained through in less than 10 seconds which is too fast.
Unless somebody comes up with a simple hole blocking idea (like epoxy putty) then a new stat will be the answer. My spare Chevy stat physically fits but will need some gasket goo around the recess where it sits.

I am not very impressed by the quality of the 'British' stat.
