Thermostat Replacement

I need to replace the thermostate but I'm not sure if I need to get a high or low temp one. They range from 160-195 degrees. Which should I get?

RE: Thermostat Replacement

Can't tell you for sure but would suggest you order one from Atlantic British or Rover Connection, they will know for sure.

RE: Thermostat Replacement

Buy the OEM replacement. Atlantic British sells one for around $20.00. If you buy a low temp thermostat the engine may never warm up enough affecting fuel and heater efficiency.

Cheers,

Pete

RE: Thermostat Replacement

Go to atlanticbritish.com and you can get a t-stat and gasket. You might beable to get it from the dealer for less than buying and shipping from AB.

RE: Thermostat Replacement

Remove the upper radiator hose, unbolt the goose neck, remove t-stat. Make sure that you put the new one in the same direction as the old one. It will overheat if you put it in backwards.
