Have a feeling my stat is either missing or stuck open Did around an 80 mile journey temp barely got out of the cold reading except when stuck in traffic then the most it would rise to is half way drops of when on the move again or when heater on which is warmish, also the on going saga of the "sweating" around the stat housing/pipe to stat the Sweating seems to be where the housing cover joins housing? Is it possible to remove the stat in situ??

You didn't say why engine.
TD4: you can fit an in line thermostat in the top hose.
1.8 K series: replace the thermostat assembly.
2.5 k series: replace the thermostat.
Hope that helps

Yes it'll be the thermostat, although LR call it a temperature control module.
Make sure you get an OE, not cheap one as they are a ball ache to replace.
sorry Nodge TD4 2005, can that be done in situ? reason for asking is if its a drop the engine job as in doing the water pump , The garage I use where its booked for January is there a "kit" available for the conversion as I would have to buy this before the car goes in (I supply the parts they give me a good price for fitting) As I asked you little while back concerning damp patch round the hose to the stat housing as water cannot travel up hill so to speak I was wondering if the housing seal was leaking,I take it this would be a lowering/raising of the engine to do this Job?
Nodge where can I get an inline one to go in the top hose would you know? the heater still works quite well

Gerry do you have a manual or Auto, if manual i think i may have an hose with a gates stat already inserted into to it, i would need to double check though.
From the photos you can see how long it's been since i saw it in the shed somewhere, that's if i still have it. if not you can get the stats from here below, but they are not Gates.

Looks like a bodge job.
Is there not a housing for the thermostat?
Yes there is obviously a housing for the original stat, but it’s a 4 hour job to switch it out.
The in-line stat work round can save all that hassle (most of the originals stick ‘open’).

Would you know a good supplier for a new top hose for a TD4 please?
