82 DegC PRT?
I'm sure this topic has been brought up before. Because it gets very hot here in Western Australia, I'm wanting to change the PRT Thermostat to a lower figure in my 2004 MGTF - ie 82DegC one. Does anyone know of such a beast please. When I phone an MG Rover/Leyland spare parts, they say no, with the only one listed as the genuine 88 DegC one. Thanks Peter.
Eat your heart out! My car is a MGTF 160 Coupe LE - Monogram Black Olive - one of 30 in the world.
