I didn't buy it, I didn't need the housing as its already there, and not perishable (and its powder coated) so I bought the thermostat for about £7 from motor factors.

It is definately the thermostat housing with thermostat, vaux dont sell the thermostats seperately, i have this myself, although i was quoted £60, not £85....


Sorry, I was going by my car which is a rover and has a plastic stat housing, it isn't any worse than a metal one so they should just use a plastic one, and £60 is still way over teh top, why didn't you just get a stat from halfords and get a housing out of a scrappy

me thinks when the dealer was selecting the part on the screen they clicked the water pump by accident, even tho, that wud still be an expensive pump possibly
