I'm interested in this new thermostat and kit when it comes available.
Could be a good time to fit before the winter hits hard. |

It might be worth waiting to see how this easy fit aftermarket stat works out longer term, before tackling the much more difficult job of fitting an OEM type.

In Line Stat
I have done all ordering on [email protected] with no problems. Don't forget to ask for 1 1/2" inlet and 1 1/4" outlet. The costs are much less than the cost of replacing the original stat and from there on the thermostat itself costs about eight dollars! So order a spare. I paid via Paypal.

Is it worth getting a few kits ordered for members who are interested? Save on p+p?
Or when do you expect to make them available Jules? Cheers, Rich

Ok Frederick.
As a matter of interest how much did they charge you for a housing plus stat shipped to the UK in dollars?? It seems the way to go, since to replace the original is such an awful costly job |

In line stat
Paypals record shows 112.02 dollars. this was for the housing plus 3 stats. The conversion was done by Paypal and I think it was about £76.
I also had to pay £12.00 VAT when it arrived. Well worth it in my opinion and I have still had no problems with the installation. The postage alone was around 29 dollars! The warm up time is obviously quicker than before although the system still struggles to reach 90 C but with the heater on 'ECON' and the air flow on 'feet and screen' I can feel the warmth within 1/2 a mile and my feet are toasty within two miles. That was after scraping the ice off the windscreen this morning. Last edited by wuzerk; 21st October 2010 at 16:14.. |
