    I’m pulling my hair out with this one. I need to replace my thermostat (88degree) and I’ve got three new ones ones on hand. Two are waxstats and one a Britpart. One just starts to slightly crack open at 88deg and the others at a bit higher temp. I had understood they should be quite open at...

    I have made up this convoluted hose from silicone and aluminum tube that goes from the upper water neck to the (200tdi) radiator bottom inlet (on the right). It's really long and weird so I was thinking that if I could somehow turn the upper water neck so that it goes to the right rather than...

    Well, I finally found my slow coolant leak by pressurizing my 200tdi's coolant system to 15psi. The leak is located on the gasket between ERR1499 and the head. My guess is that I'll have to replace the paper gasket located there. The unfortunate thing is that it looks like there are three...

    Is there an appreciable difference to running the cooler thermostat in a 1994 d90 with the 3.9? I read on another thread about the gas mileage suffering, but that seemed to be talking about the 160 stat and that was in an 3.5. If so what are we talk about in MPG difference?

    So I have been chasing what I suspect to be a minor cooling system problem with my truck. I probably just need to give the engine/rad a good flush, temp creeps up a bit on highway under heavy load. Usually runs at 189ish under load gets up to 195 maybe 200 if I am really beating the piss out of...

    Anyone have a part number or crossover part number for a late 300tdi thermostat that can be found locally? (Locally as in available via a regular parts chain in North America) Tried "MOTORAD 319-192 but came up short despite apparently being available from many on-line sellers? Just wondered if...

    I looked through the threads and my references but cannot find the recommended thermostat temperature for my 1988 D110 with the 3.5 carburetted engine. Is it 180 degrees or 195 degrees? something else. Also it looks like the thermostat housing is at the front of the intake manifold where the...

    I just moved to the Pacific Northwest from Texas where the average temp is ten thousand degrees F in the winter. I noticed the ambient temperature up here is a little cooler and my heater isnt working worth dick. Which thermostat degree rating do you all typically run in your rigs up here...

    I have found info that says to use the 82* (defenderhelp.com) for stock NAS 110 but have also read to use the 88* and seems like there was a 9?* in there somewhere. My temp. gauge goes up to just above the "C" and the heater is not blowing warm. I picked up an 82* at O'Reilly's and plan to...

  14. Pre - 2016 Defender Technical Discussions
    Hola one and all. I have tried searching so as not to waste anyones time but haven't found any answers. I have a 200TDi with a 82C thermostat in it which looks like this: (first image, no round plate at the bottom, just the brass slug looking thing. Works fine, been tested and tested in pot...
