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?Quote:

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

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;)Quote:

There is only one size thurmostat for the 4BD1, and turboed engines run the same one.
$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.
repco one is not for the isuzu. i have one sitting here and it definately wont fit!

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...
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
