Dorman 902-922 Engine Coolant Thermostat Housing Compatible with Select Mini Models

I have not installed it yet but I feel that the price is higher than it could be for something that is removing materials from the OEM design. I will definitely be posting later updates after installed and tested. At least it comes with gasket which is a plus from the OEM. Different material (a little stiffer than OEM) which might work better than the jello gasket original to the cooper. By the way you can get a part # 206 at napa for the thermostat on a PT cruiser of the same 05 year for 6 dollars instead of 50 at the dealer...

Worked great.

Worked perfectly in my mini cooper.
