Overview
The thermostat is one of the most critical—yet overlooked—cooling system components on any diesel Land Rover. For owners of Freelander LR2, Range Rover Evoque, and Discovery Sport models with 2.2L TDV diesel engines, this OE-spec thermostat housing assembly maintains precise engine temperature control at 83°C, preventing both overcooling and dangerous thermal stress that can lead to head gasket failure or turbo damage.
This direct-fit unit carries OE part numbers LR001312 and C2S44028, meeting Land Rover's exact thermal specifications. The precision-engineered 83°C opening temperature ensures optimal fuel economy, emissions compliance, and long-term engine reliability—especially critical for 2.2 diesel engines prone to carbon buildup and temperature fluctuations.
Whether your original thermostat has failed, stuck open (causing slow warm-up), or stuck closed (engine overheating), this proven replacement restores proper coolant flow and temperature management. Installation requires no modifications and includes the full housing assembly for a complete, hassle-free fit.

Installation Notes
Difficulty Level: Intermediate | Time: 45–90 minutes
-
Prepare your engine: Allow the engine to cool completely. Drain the cooling system into a clean container (you'll reuse this coolant if in good condition).
-
Remove the old thermostat: Unbolt the housing from the engine block. Disconnect coolant hoses—have a catch pan ready for spillage.
-
Install the new assembly: Position the new thermostat housing on the engine block. Ensure the gasket seats fully and evenly. Torque bolts to 20–25 Nm in a cross pattern.
-
Reconnect coolant lines: Reattach all hoses and tighten clamps securely. Check for leaks before refilling.
-
Refill and bleed: Pour coolant back into the radiator and overflow tank. Start the engine and allow it to reach full operating temperature. Top up as needed to remove air pockets.
-
Test and inspect: Run the engine for 10–15 minutes. Listen for normal cooling fan cycles. Inspect all connections for weeping.
Warning: Never open the radiator cap on a hot engine—risk of severe scalding. Wait until the engine is completely cold. If coolant smells sweet or you notice white smoke, stop immediately and have the system professionally inspected for head gasket failure.
