Thanks phillpot,
I have registered with the Swedish company and asked for a quotation, maybe I will be lucky. The price is very attractive. Basically, my thermo housing is very badly corroded internally and does not seal anymore.

See photo - that's all that was left of the thermostat ! eek !

I might consider machining an insert ring (from stainless ?) to press fit into the existing housing and make a new seating .... as a last resort.

Again, thanks for the input phillpot. I noticed you mentioned this "chemical metal" in another recent post and this could be a good solution for my problem.

But here's one in Sweden , about £8 if I've got my sums right smile
Last Post (Whinge) Follow Up : After a few weeks of trying to understand the Swedish website, I finally managed to buy this one from Bildelsbasen.se, so if anybody else needs something, this could be a good future source.
Price was very good too, so all-round happy right now smile
