Thermostat - the coolant-flow control valve in the engine cooling system, with an 82°C opening temperature.

Mounted in the thermostat housing at the coolant outlet on the cylinder head, it stays closed while the engine warms from cold so coolant circulates only within the block, then opens progressively from 82°C to route coolant through the radiator and hold the engine at its intended operating temperature. Suits both petrol and diesel applications.

Frequently asked questions

What does this 82°C thermostat do?
This thermostat is the 82°C coolant-flow valve in the engine cooling system. It stays shut while the engine warms from cold so coolant circulates only in the block, then opens from 82°C to route coolant through the radiator. That holds the engine at its intended running temperature.
Where is the thermostat fitted?
The thermostat sits in the thermostat housing at the coolant outlet on the cylinder head, reached by removing the top hose housing. It suits both the 2.25 petrol and diesel Series engines, so the same 82°C thermostat covers several of these four-cylinder applications.
What are the signs this thermostat needs replacing?
A failed thermostat typically shows up as overheating if it sticks shut, or a very slow warm-up and poor cabin heat if it sticks open. A stuck-open thermostat also keeps the engine running too cool, which hurts economy. Replacing it restores correct warm-up and running temperature.
Which Land Rover models and engines does it fit?
This 82°C thermostat fits the Series 2 and 2A 2.25 petrol, and the Series 3 in 2.25 petrol and 2.25 diesel. It also suits the early 2.0 and 2.25 diesel Series engines. Check your engine is a four-cylinder 2.0 or 2.25 unit rather than a later replacement.
