Right - lovely as my local parts guys are, I'd rather have a full list of part numbers to give them over the phone, to save having to make two trips.
I'm replacing my thermostat this weekend, and while I'm in there I may as well do the surrounding washers and seals. So I could do with numbers for the following -
Car is a 2003 3.2 manual.
Thermostat (probably going to get online)
Thermostat housing and transfer pipe (does it come with new bolts and seals included?)
Coolant bridge dowty washers (x4)
Return pipe to block seal
And of course 5 litres of coolant...
:y

going by andyc's mumblings while looking mine up, there is alot of superceeding and swaping about of numbers on the stats. i ended up with a slightly different item than the one that came off. much thinner seal.
might be worth a pm to him..?

If its the newer housing you'll need the shorter bolts .. the housing is thinner and the existing bolts bottom out. Mine did NOT come with the bolts ... but DLK had a big box of bolts and found suitable ones .. :)

that is my experience also. andyc provided bolts, seal, stat, and transfer pipe. i can provide numbers but over the model years there are several subtle changes between 01 and 03. its too presumptious to assume the numbers will be the same, i would think. :-\

Nothing to stop me modifying the existing ones if it comes to it? 8)
