WN0073 Inline Diesel Thermostat Housing

bloomster2 · 1st March 2019, 17:48

Hi Folks,

Recently got back to being a Rover driver after a few years absence, I used to have the 2.5 V6 connie (until I cooked the engine), then I switched to a 2.5 V6 ZT, last 2 cars have been a 2.0 diesel Jag estate (ford in disguise), followed by a 2.0 diesel Mondeo.

Anyway I'm having the Diesel thermostat problem with my temp needle sitting just above cold, until i get stuck in traffic, when it finally decides to move up until I get moving again.

Just wondered if anyone out there has a "Meziere Inline Thermostat Housing" they no longer want or need that they would consider selling to me.

Alternatively can someone give me a link to the current cheapest supplier for one.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Specialised components also done an inline stat.
Had one on our old zts worked a treat.
I’ll check the zt tomorrow to see if it’s available as it won’t be going back on the road.
