No wonder everyone is confused. They even say it has a water pump - go figure indeed. 🤣Quote:

And no doubt the parts catalogue structure carried over, although LR never called it a thermostat housing so LR parts suppliers should know the correct name of the part.Quote:

It’s what LR call it. Exactly. Can’t help dumb.Quote:

The plastic housing is known to split catastrophically after prolonged weeping so don't delay replacing it.
Thanks DB, I shot Gap an email. Hopefully they can block it from now on.
Replaced the coolant crossover / thermostat housing / water thingamajig today. Was quite a satisfying job. Bleed the coolant and went for a drive with what seems to be no further losses [emoji106]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7ca8f68001.jpg
Good job. See those vertical threads fill up with coolant you’ve got to be real careful to blow out the coolant before refitting.Quote:
