180 tstat for D2

[schleven]

Anyone have a new 180 degree thermostat for a Disco2 laying around? If so, I'll take it from ya.

Schleven, I recommend you look for the genuine factory 180-tstat (grey) version instead of the Motorad (white) version. Lots of threads around regarding the merits of the former.

That's what I picked up: PEL500110

The genuine one should have a "G" at the end of the parts number, that is, PEL500110G. Otherwise, it may be the Motorad white version.

The one I ordered is Silver/Grey.

No problems with the motorad one in 2 years now... And I'm pretty sure mine was black/grey colored.

Only if you order from Bputah or AB, to other places PEL500110 is the real part number.

Oil temps get very high on these things. If rover incorporated an oil thermostat, like every air cooled Porsche, that would help with some of the failure issues. Get oil temp to 200 degrees and keep it there. That's one nice thing about water to oil coolers, until the seal fails and you get milkshake.
