No it isn't Sledge. It is running fine thanks mate. I have been buying spare parts for the car for a number of years, just to have spares ready just in case something fails. I have never thought about buying a thermostat for the spares cabinet. It might be a bit overkill with what I am doing but I don't like the waiting game for parts if something fails.

 

[Bruce 94VT]

I was just hoping someone would confirm the correct part number.

 

[Bruce 94VT]

Thanks Mikael. Where would be the best place to purchase one of these please?

 

[Bruce 94VT]

Thanks Mikael. It would be great to know. I have looked for the BEHR B.476.74 without any luck. Does anyone know where these are available please?

 

[Bruce 94VT]

Looking forward to your findings mate. I too am speaking to someone who believes they have a solution. Will update as soon as I find out more.

 

[Bruce 94VT]

This is what came out of my workshop manual Mikael

 

[Bruce 94VT]

I found some cross reference parts on b.476.74-b.476.74 Coolant Thermostat . I hope these help.

 

[Bruce 94VT]

Where I live, it is hot and very hot 9 months of the year. Would this thermostat you are talking about paul01 be any good for my weather conditions?

 

[Bruce 94VT]

Would that be the NAPA TH148 paul01?

 

[Bruce 94VT]

Can you advise where to purchase the thermostats you are talking about Mikael?

 

[Bruce 94VT]

I am not having a problem with mine but it the correct thermostats are few, then I would like to purchase one before there are no more.

 

[Bruce 94VT]

I will be looking for the original BEHR B.476.74 thermostat as per your advice Mikael.

 

[Bruce 94VT]

Brilliant mate. Thank you.

 

[Bruce 94VT]

I was given another thermostat brand today. It is a Tridon TT249.170. I am trying to find some specs on it.

 

[Bruce 94VT]

Found some specifications.

 

[Bruce 94VT]

Would your 97 have the same thermostat as a 94?

 

[Bruce 94VT]

Great thank you mate.

 

[Bruce 94VT]

That’s brilliant. Thank you mate. Good to know a hole has to be drilled.
