Help please, I'm stuck.

I am in need of a new Thermostat for my Mercruiser 140 Alpha 1, petrol engine.

Can't seem to locate anyone here in the UK that stocks them and wondered if you guys have a few company addresses i can try.

Many thanks.
 
Have tried a number of auto shop's, none can match it.

Found a supplier in the USA, shipping coast is £16.00, Stat only £11.00.

Well if all else fails, i guess it's worth it.

Buy two or three and it will work out cheaper /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
the engine is a 3 liter gm unit and pretty much any Mercruiser dealer will have it in stock if not EP barrus will tell you which of their dealers have it. by the time you have taken the old one out and farted about finding the pattern part 2/3 hrs of your weekend it would have been cheaper to march in to the mercruiser dealer and buy the original part which will last longer anyway as it was made for the job (salt watercooling ) rather than the pattern part which will corrode out in 1 season.
 
Thanks.
Have sent mail to Keyparts, just waiting for a reply.

Will let you know if i'm lucky.
 
Would be great to just walk into a dealers and buy one. However, there don't seem to be one around here that stocks part's for the old Alpha 1. All have just given the same answer "Sorry can't help" /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
 
Do not hold your breath when E mailing Keyparts,ring them instead.They are very heplful and will spend time finding you the correct item even if something minor like nuts and blts etc.
 
Thanks for all the feedback.

Had mail from Richard at Keyparts, they do have the item in stock and only £16.00 + £3.00 postage.

Once again, many thanks to everyone for your help.
