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.

Vehicle Model Land Rover Series 2 and 3

Frequently asked questions

What is this 82°C thermostat and what does it do?

This 82°C thermostat controls coolant flow in the engine cooling system. While the engine is cold it stays closed so coolant only moves around the block, letting it warm quickly. From 82°C it opens to send coolant through the radiator, keeping the engine at a steady operating temperature.

Where does the thermostat sit on the engine?

The thermostat is housed at the coolant outlet on the cylinder head, under the top-hose housing. It fits the four-cylinder 2.25 petrol and 2.25 diesel Series engines and carries Land Rover number 596225. Draining a little coolant first makes the housing easier to open.

How do I tell if the thermostat has failed?

A thermostat stuck closed usually causes the engine to overheat, while one stuck open leaves it slow to warm and running cold with weak cabin heat. Both are reasons to replace it. Fitting a fresh 82°C unit restores proper warm-up and steady running temperature on these Series engines.

Which engines and models does it fit?

This thermostat suits the Series 2 and 2A 2.25 petrol, the Series 3 in 2.25 petrol and 2.25 diesel, and the early 2.0 and 2.25 diesel Series engines. Confirm your engine is an original four-cylinder 2.0 or 2.25 unit rather than a later conversion before ordering.
