hi Paul, www.ricambio.co.uk have you tired them? they will certainly have one in, can get everything from them, next day delivery too.

however, last year i bought the whole thermostat casing and thermostat from a Fiat dealer (which has now gone) for only Ã‚Â£25.

regards

Chris

Have you done the saucepan test with it? what makes you think it's buggered? :

Mine's the origional and still working.
Ask this chap if he has any left, I've seen them in his ebay shop in the past month and not that expensive. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Peter-Autoteile_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ0QQftidZ2QQtZkm Bookmark him and keep looking.
I've bought a remote central locking kit from him for the Bis

(posh or what?) I'll let you know what it's like when I fit it.
Steve.

I bought one from Ricambio last Sept. It came complete in new aluminium housing and is different to the arrangement I removed. The pin end of the thermostat is precisely located in a small mushroom shaped protrusion and the other end is held by two extension arms. I fitted it together with 50/50 antifreeze and it performed perfectly. I ran the car from Sept. '06 to Feb. 07 and then lost patience with the rusty body so I scrapped the car but kept all the mechanicals.
Total cost was Ã‚Â£19-38 incl. p & p & vat but without discount which I forgot to ask for.
