Hi guys I recently moved up to volksrust, mpumalanga from the western cape and on the way the ladas thermostat gave in With the help of a mechanic in richmond we jammed the thermostat open and blocked the recirculation path with part of a wooden table leg to keep it from just circulating through the engine block and overheat Anyways, I am looking for a new thermostat and was wondering if there was someone kind of in this area with a spare one? Also going through to dbn this weekend and can fetch there thx!

Hi Hanno
Welcome to Mpumalanga! As far as I know there are no members near you. If you are bargaining on Ventz, keep in mind that he is leaving on an extended holiday trip this weekend. Whether Thursday or Saturday, I'm not sure. Spikes

Hi. Ventz leaves on Thursday so try Chris Swales in Pinetown, however a friend of mine needed one recently and ordered one from Pavel, no idea of the cost though.

Apparently there is a bmw one which will also work, from a 520.
I think I have Douw's old one lying around now that I think about it.
