There is no alternative that I know of. Last one I got, a year ago, was $50 from Fred Smith in Melbourne. Still not cheap, but better than that!

repco say they have a listing and that there is nothing special about them and $14...i emphasised, does it list landrover with 4bd1 and he said yes....so i am off to repco...

[lokka]

Handy to know as im about to embark on a tidy up on a 4bd1 to slot into my 85 RRC :D:D:D:D

Typical of those stealers :mad::mad::mad:

I bought mine just the other week from Isuzu (Major Motors in Perth) and it was $64.71+GST so just over $70... ouch! :(

As well as that I bought a new rubber 'O' gasket which was another $6.98 +GST.

Still a bit cheaper than your dealer quoted, but not as good as the Repco price :D

By comparison, I just bought a new airfilter main element which is a genuine Donaldson item (bloody massive thing) and it was only $28 incl GST - bargain in my book :thumbsup:

The one I got for my Isuzu County with a 4BD1 (non turbo) is part no: P900433, two places quoted me the list price as $34.01 + GST.

When I went to pick one up from Hitachi Construction Machinery in Welshpool (Perth) they gave me a 25% discount! I didn't even ask - I must just look like a tight git! :D:D

Looks like they all charge a different price. I got one at Brisbane Isuzu for $53 including the rubber seal. The LR dealer quoted $84. Repco ans Supercheap both listed one but it was not correct, being a small item like a standard passenger car type.

but it was not correct, being a small item like a standard passenger car type.

Funny you should say that, when I was at the Isuzu dealers buying my thermostat they looked at the specific parts book for 4BD1's in Land Rovers. The first thermostat they came back with was a tiny one too, luckily I had my old one with me and they went away and brought out the correct one. Could there be two fitments?

[Traveler]

hey jon would it be possible for you to give me the dimensions of the thermostat in the photo???also does anyone know if there is only one size that fits all?

I'll measure it later today as I haven't fitted it yet.

Figured I'd go all the way with the cooling system and fit new hoses (which came in a box with the car) and get the radiator re-cored as well (which is now done... please don't ask $$$'s I'm still cryin' :BigCry::BigCry::eek2:)

[Blknight.aus]

funny, I do the hoses and the thermostats on 3.9s all the time and it doesnt bring a tear to my eye.

Like I've said before, your a bloke worth knowing !! :D:D;)

It was the radiator re-core that started the tears for me though :(

[Larns]

There is only one size thurmostat for the 4BD1, and turboed engines run the same one.

[1103.9TDI]

$70 for the thermostat here in Cairns, from Isuzu (Holden), last price for a radiator recore from Natrad was $950:eek::eek::eek::eek:, so mines running on two less tubes=no noticeable difference in max temp, even on a superhot/heavy work run:D:D:D:D.

[andrew e]

repco one is not for the isuzu. i have one sitting here and it definately wont fit!

[Traveler]

got one on saturday from gympie landrover...cut me a deal cause he said it has been sitting on the shelf for some time...$40...and yes its larger compared to the one repco showed me...thankyou for that hint cause i would of bought the repco one...temp now runs just below N on dash gauge...

[procrastination inc]

I picked up a primary air filter today. Stopped in at cummins spares and got a fleet guard equivalent (AF4059K) for under $40. looks to be the right part. Different bottom seal, but doesn't seem to be a fit issue

[jerryd]

I just purchased a new air filter for $70.00 :eek: I thought it was a bit on the dear side.

I cleaned out the old one and found a frog, a stick , a dragonfly and a load of dust and rubbish :D I've put a piece of flyscreen at the top of the snorkel now to help stop the invaders.
