Having major problems trying find new replacement thermostat housing fixings (three bolts) for a 2.25 n/a 5mb out of a series 3 any help even a part number would help.

what part are you after, correct me if im wrong, you are looking for a thermo housing secured by 3 bolts or studs for a series 3 engine, petrol or diesel, i have 1 spare for a 2286 diesel engine, and funny enough i took the heater valve off it today, where do you live,

It was the bolts i was after got them today found out they are M6 bolts now just have the joy of removing the one that has snapped off in the head.

Metric bolts on a series landie? Must be non original on there at the moment then.

s.chick · Apr 15, 2009

The bolts are metric due to the engine being out of a late series 3 when they started putting 5 bearings on the main crank opposed to three belive they done this post 1980 hence metric

I don't think the change to metric exactly coincides with the change to 5 bearing (that would be too simple), also the blocks and heads didn't change at the same point (and may have been swapped later anyway.
