Thermostat

[v9 ogre]

The heater hose sprung a leak and the car lost coolant. Strangely this appears to have had a knock on effect to the thermostat in that it has jammed shut! So to get to the point, does anyone know where is the easiest place to source a thermostat? The local Vauxhall garage & parts places gave me the 1000 yard stare!

Monkfish Performance, Walkinshaws or RapidGB.

They can be sourced in different temp ranges if you want a high performance item and don't expect them to be cheap either. Their expensive but then again they aren't a simple stat.

Thanks guys. Will try where you suggested.
