Problems with heater, which I believe is a common problem with thermostat sticking - Although I can have old thermostat replaced, I believe it is not an easy job (around 3 hours labour cost) - I believe there is an interim solution 'inline stat' that can be cut into the main water pipe and takes around 20 mins to fit - Can someone please confirm if this is a practical long term fix and where can I purchase this part!

I've used the Meziere more expensive solution but temp gauge now gets to 100 which was unheard of before, do you know how to check the actual temperature your car is achieving via the on board diagnostics ?

Just done my first long run with the new in-hose stat fitted, home to Portsmouth temp gauge sat just under halfway and the onboard diagnostics was showing a constant 87-92 deg's.I fitted a 88 deg stat so it seems to be doing it's job.
