Don't attempt to fit a larger 'O' ring to the thermostat housing. You will break it (I tried this as part of my thorough investigation of the cause of the leaks).

80 - 85 degrees is much too cool. Either the thermostat is faulty or it's not rated at 88 degrees. A genuine MG Rover thermostat is your best bet.

Hello Simon, yes i used the new o rings and i moved the serrated clips on the straight pipe fully.
Where can i find an original thermostat ? It is bad to drive with this thermostat ?
Thanks you.
