Thermostat or Muff needed?
Suvvey:
I did try it with the heater turned off and it made a little difference but still no where near what I'd expect. I'm sure the boys in LR knew what they were doing but surely the stat should open at a higher temp than it is, to keep the engine at a healthy operating temperature? I am assuming that the sender is on the engine side of the system and not on the rad side :-. Have to admit I can't picture where it is now :oops: My td5 at work never struggles to get warm.

id just be glad its not at the other end of the scale :)

I had a simular problem. Took the stat out and it had "82" stamped on it. Replaced with an 88 deg stat which improved it. I now also have a kenlowe fan which has impoved it more.

Throw the viscus away and go for a elecy fan!

The electric fans on Misubishi FTOs are brilliant, they have two speeds and fit on a land Rover rad a treat with a couple of brackets fabricated from dexion or similar.
I have one on my Disco 200Tdi engined Defender and this time of year I never turn it on.
