Hello all,
I've been running a GEMS type thermostat for a year or so now, after re-plumbing my layout of my 4.6 GEMS type engine, but i just don't like the opening temps of about 92degc that comes with this thermostat.....i much preferred 82degc.....
So doing the usual google searching i found this
https://shop.v8engines.com/p38-gems--th ... -961-p.asp
Hmmm.....i thought....just what i need....but £300 price tag.....
Any took the plunge?....or recommend something else?

Re: GEMS thermostat
I believe that the Discovery 2 with Thor (and maybe Gems) engines had a cooler thermostat. The plumbing is different to the P38 arrangement, and reputedly superior...
Might be a cheaper option.

Yes this one PEL500110
I'm using it, 82 deg and also PRT (pressure relieving). Might need to re-jig your lower hose.
