Really? I had not heard of that nor experienced it. Both my cars came
with bellows type thermostats. I have had the Land Rover for 35 years
as of last March and the TR3 since 1986 and have yet to experience a
thermostat failure.
I hope metal parts do not go bad sitting on a shelf in a protected
environment as I have a lot of NLA spares for my cars sitting on
shelves, including at least 5 new Smiths thermostats.
