When I was looking I found THIS ONE on eBay - People seemed to think £22 was a bit steep though.

Also, does fitting an 88 degree thermostat help increase MPG?

thanks for the link, ill take a look. as for MPG, no idea. 88 degrees, as far as I understand it means the thermostat opens at that temp, meaning the water that circulates around the car will be hotter, the engine will run hotter etc, so wether that affects MPG ive no idea, be interesting to find out though!

thermostat - 88 degree

Hi,

Try your local motor factors, you may be plesantly surprised.
I paid £6 for my 88 degree thermostat about 2 months ago.
Had it on the shelf too...:thumbs

If I remember correctly they aren't all that expensive from the dealers, might be worth asking if only to compare :thumb2

I recently changed my coolant, now although the gauge still gets to 9PM the cab does not get hot anymore.:doh:doh

Is there an airvent anywhere on the pipework to the heater, my old citroen BX had one hidden away, cant seem to find one for the Mav TD:bow

We had snow down here this AM, yippee, didnt settle though:doh

you may well have an airlock if you recently changed the coolant, did you do the thermostat as well??

The Thermostat was changed when I bought it, never got past 7PM on the guage, was warmer then
With the new one it was really toasty, now although the guage gets to 9PM only luke warm from the heater, so I thought air lock, how do I bleed it, the BX had a valve hidden away but cant find one on Mav:doh

Help:bow

with these I believe you remove the rad cap, run the engine until all bubbles dissappear, then put cap back on and allow to run, should self purge if needs be.
