Can any tell me what engine I’ve got from the engine number please
36d63579c cr9.35:1
I’m wanting to replace the thermostat. Think I’ve read Discoverys and rrc stats operate at diff temps, just done a test on mine didn’t start to open until it got to 93c, think best to replace it,
Thanks agian

You don't know what engine you have in your car ?
Or what car you have

I'm pretty sure it's a petrol, so that narrowed it down. Probably a v8.. how much more is needed?

Yep it's a 3.9

Sorry, I wanted to ask if it’s from a discovery or a Range Rover, only because I’ve read the 2 engines take slight different thermostats (opening temps)
So yes it’s a v8 3.9 efi,
Next time I post I will read it b4 posting and try and give as much info as possible

but thats the point. an engine is just that, an engine. its in whatever vehicle its in.
what matters for you is the engine ecu, thats the bit which might be different, so if you've got a rrc then you want a thermostat for a rrc, for example

I think I should start again
Defender. With a 3.9 efi was originally a 200tdi
I was trying to find out if my engine was from a rrc or a discovery, I read somewhere about the thermostats opening at different temps from the 2 vehicles. I hope I didn’t read that wrong, but just wanted to make sure

what engine ecu are you using? is that from a rrc or disco? thats all you need to know

I did google it but again it said rrc or discoery

that appears to be off a discovery, but I'm not an expert on this
