Hi,

I am after a Thermostat housing for an M20 (lower hose connector corroded and fell off!)

Car is a 1986 320i, but are they the same for all M20 engines?

After a good 2nd hand one, or can anyone point me to a new aftermarket supplier?

You're welcome,
From memory i think i used spare brown and a spare blue sensors, had to cut the end off one if i recall was a while ago now, if not an easier solution would be to take it to a hardware store and match up some short threaded bolts with a sealing washer.
