Jonny Boaterboy:
I think my thermostate is not working properly and befor I get a new one (after testing the old one) can anyone tell me if you can get a "winter" thermostate? I will be doing a trip to Norway.... one day! in january and have allways planed to try and get a thermostate that opens a a higher temp. Land rover says it should open at 88 degrees I was thinking of geting one that opens around 91-95 something like that, to enable better heating in the -30 temp. in norwigen witers.
If you can is there anything you need to worry about with running at a higher temp?

Thanks all

Jonny

Are you really going to notice a 3 degree rise in engine temp?  :?
Why not stick with original thermostat & replace viscous fan with an electric one...so it allows the engine to warm quicker, not hotter.
I would recommend an engine pre heater & cabin heater if you are really going to -30degree climate.

Range Rover Blues:
I've heard of winter 'stats on older Fords before now but havn't seen one in years.  Perhaps your local motor factor would let you look through his catalogues.

Jonny Boaterboy:
Its a good point..... about feeling the rise in temp, maybe Ill just stick with genuine,

Thanks all

Range Rover Blues:
You do notice a difference, especially as in a smaller engine the extra few degrees means in a cold climate the heater gets all the hot water and the rad stays cool.
