==PRRT Colours== * Cream is 87°C With Medium Spring: first being used on FreeLander & MGF/TF. * Black is 82°C With Hard Spring: Not suitable for Rover K engines. * Grey is 82°C With Light Spring: Latest being used on Freelander (MGF/TF ?). Land Rover replace the old stat (87°C) with this one if they have to open the coolant circuit. '''''THIS IS THE ONE YOU WANT !!!''''' [information added by Yvo Tuk from elise-shop.com]<br> The above mentioned colour information is outdated. There are four manufacturers of the actual remote thermostat units nowadays (2015). Some of them stick to the original colour scheme and some deliver their thermostats in the same colour for every temperature. We currently ship kits with cream coloured 82°C thermostats. We've also seen black and yellow thermostats in 82°C. The temperature is stamped in the actual thermostat which can be seen through one of the hose connections. [information added by Lindsay Porter, Porter Publishing - see www.amazon.co.uk/Lindsay-Porter/e/B000AP9FPG] 1. The thermostat temperature digits are visible through the top hose connection but are *extremely* difficult to see - small and on the outer rim of the thermostat. 2. The genuine Land Rover grey thermostat has both the correct temp AND the correct pressure setting. There is no way of checking the latter by observation. 3. If you fit the wrong colour, you won't know if the pressure is correct (even after checking the temp.) and in future, a mechanic won't be able to correctly identify the PRT fitted to your engine.
