Land Rover Repair: Changing the Thermostat 99 Disco II, rovers north, thermostat


Question
I purchased a new Thermostat for my 99 Disco II because the temperature began to rise while my car was idle. I recently replaced the water pump. Is it true that the thermostat should be changed along with the new water pump? I want to install it but I have no experience. Can you help me locate it and give specific instructions for replacing the thermostat?

Answer
The thermostat is located in the hose to the lower radiator.  If you need step by step instrustions I have two suggestions:

1) You can purchase daily access to Land Rover's official site at www.landrovertechinfo.com

2) I suggest you might prefer a printed manual.  You can order manuals from Atlantic British 800 533 2210 or Rovers North 802 879 0032.

best of luck to you.
