Thermostat for the 2.5L 300TDi diesel engine, operating within the thermostat housing at the top of the cooling circuit.

The thermostat regulates coolant flow between the engine and the radiator based on coolant temperature. Below the opening threshold, coolant is directed through the bypass circuit to accelerate warm-up and maintain consistent operating temperature; once the thermostat opens, it allows full coolant circulation through the radiator.

Frequently asked questions

What does the ERR3291W thermostat do?
The ERR3291W is a 77/78°C uprated thermostat for the 2.5L 300Tdi diesel, fitted in the housing at the top of the cooling circuit. It regulates coolant flow between the engine and radiator, directing coolant through the bypass circuit until it reaches its opening temperature.
Which vehicles fit the ERR3291W thermostat?
It fits the Defender (1987-2006), Discovery 1 (to VIN MA081992), and Range Rover Classic (from VIN JA610294), all with the 2.5L 300Tdi engine.
Why is the ERR3291W described as an uprated thermostat?
It opens at a lower 77/78°C compared with the standard thermostat rating, giving slightly cooler running under load. This is a common upgrade on 300Tdi engines that see hard use or towing.
What happens if the ERR3291W thermostat fails?
A thermostat stuck closed causes rapid overheating, while one stuck open means the engine runs cold and never reaches proper operating temperature. Either fault is a common reason for inconsistent temperature gauge readings on the 300Tdi.
