Or search eBay for "Nissens" and ask the supplier for one.

It will be aluminium, unlike the copper Valeo one from Alfashop etc..

I got mine from seller "radicoolcouk"

Give Lloyd a ring at ClovertechUK in Dagenham a call.

We had to have new rads and thermostats on both 156s and a new thermostat on the Spider.

It seems that both are a bit of a weak point on the modern Alfas.

They were

2000 156 2.0 TS both rad and thermostat at around 7 years old

2001 156 TS Selespeed both rad and thermostat at 5 years old

2001 Spider thermostat at 6 years

It doesn't sound too bad, until you compare it with 1992 75 still on the original radiator.

Almost all of the Alfa's (and Fiats) I have owned have needed a new thermostat at some point.

They are not that good. :(
