The Official Extinct Inline Thermostat Mod Thread
#221
The Brit’s are a bit strange, but yet passionate, about their Land Rovers.
Whenever I post on a UK forum how I changed something on my Disco 2 from stock, I always get a few haters on how the LR engineers had more knowledge than me to sort out technical issues to preserve Disco 2s longevity.
whatever mate! If it were up to the hard core LR owners, we should never not lift our Discos, never change out the bumpers and to continually keep using Dexacool coolant.
I’ll be proud to show off your thermostat mod at the next LR show here in England!

Still the best mod I have made, but Canadian winters
Minus 25 C and I could not get above 125 F for engine temp. Thank goodness for heated seats and at least one heated hand at a time..... Thankfully I had some cardboard in the truck which I stuck down the rad to shield it from the cold.... Now in the garage, I will simply attach the stylist cardboard to the front grill and reminisce about the last time I did this in high school, many decades ago. Rover ON!

@kdscott100 - 5c here my disco runs about 177 on the hiway occasionally hits 183 but no codes so I am good. Had a short -12c ran around 176 under load (up hill slow speed). I can not complain.

I want to give a shout out to Extinct for his customer service. A couple weeks ago I fat fingered my order & mistakenly selected the 190 degree thermostat, which I didn't realize until I received the complete kit in the mail. On Christmas Eve I emailed Inline Customer Service to let them know of my mistake, not expecting a reply until last week. Amazingly, Extinct emailed back within 10 minutes & put a 180 degree element in the mail to me. I received it the day I sent the 190 back to him & was able to install the kit this weekend. Installation wasn't difficult due to the detailed instructions at the top of the thread--took a couple hours mostly due to fiddly hose clamps. Everything works perfectly and I'm extremely grateful. Thanks Extinct.
