thermostat

Could anyone tell me the best place to get a thermostat from cheers
Also has anyone upgraded to electric fans and is this a worth while mod ??
Cheers
 
Either Martin M or Speedy Spares should do the thermostat.
An upgrade to a leccy fan is well worth it, even better if you can mount it behind the rad. I fitted one off a turbo diesel Escort and it works brilliantly, I had to move the rad forward and make up some bracketry but it was worth it. Of course you can get one straight off the shelf, why not try Ratsport - Commerjules runs the place and has used one on his van successfully and that's running a Holbay lump:) Just be aware though that occasionally they don't seem to work very well on some engines:I

I made up a new thermostat housing and included a connection for a switch but you can get a type that fits inside the top hose with a special seal - or fit a 'T' piece in the hose to take a switch.

Mine is just on a temperature switch, I think it's a Fiat one (just happened to be the right temperature range and it was less than a fiver:)) but Kenlowe and others do an adjustable controller - but not cheap.
