Might it not be worth considering an aftermarket "original" stat from a different manufacturer to the one(s) who supplied the factories? It surely can't be a universal foregone conclusion that the design of the engine causes all stats to fail in this way. What did BMW fit?

Whether you could buy a BMW thermostat housing and then possibly remove the thermostat and fit it into the old housing? Right now, as far as my limited desire to investigate any further, there only appears to be chinese chaps producing these. As to who they are supplying...well I guess pretty much everybody that sells the thermostat And where would the BMW ones be coming from? Definatley nothing to do with the engine design. That is superb. Just like the BMW turbo failures were not down to the engine design. For me I think the way to go if this one fails will be to buy the machined inline thermostat housing and remove the rover thermostat gubbins from the housing and refit. That at least will give you a better and wider choice of thermostats and should mean easier replacement |

No temperature problems at the moment on my CDT, - it produces warm air after around a mile of country lanes, and proceeds to a rock-steady 9.00 clock position on the gauge. Are we saying that the failed shut scenario is only likely to happen if an in-line stat causes it to get overcooked for too long, so the seal perishes and lets the wax leak out? I'd rather my stat failed open, and let the engine run cold. My daughter's Polo had a stupid plastic stat that failed in the shut position (the plastic 'bridge' that held the spring pressure inevitably aged and broke, so the stat shut with a bang on the motorway). Result (luckily) only a new head gasket, she saw the temp warning light come on and pulled over on the hard shoulder - well trained!
