I've just done the top hose mod with a renault 5 stat that you can get from DMGRS, much easier and cheaper to get too than the OEM stat and far cheaper. Did the trick now running at operating temperature again and gained 8 MPG in the process! Even if its temp, its worth a shot! mind you mine is a diesel! if yours is the unleaded rover powerplant, than the stat is not that hard to get to and if a hour job (thats what I heard on this forum....)
