doctor Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Have just removed my air-condition compressor for maintanence and put new hoses on radiator and replaced with new thermostat.This one is 88deg opening and seems to send temps up to 100deg before cooling. I will replace with thermostat that is 82deg opening ,Anybody had these issues when changing over.Thanks to all replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Poor quality thermostat... wax stat's have a well documented shelf life and it seems if they're not put into service before too long they go a bit odd and don't behave as they should. After going through 3 stats before I got one I was happy was working correctly, and that stat was supplied from Land Rover in which I'd be going back to them if I need replacement at least you can take it back with a warranty if it doesn't behave...

doctor Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Thanks Maverick,have put in 82deg for know but will get a 88 later.Never had a prob before replacing radiator hoses to silicon as a update. Will replace my 4 core that got a hole in it with a aluminium one later this year and should be bullet proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
