Car builders solutions do one.

Some bikes have them, notably a 90's model CBR1000

Some SD1's + 2000's had an inline stat QH or QTH234 Raw used to sell about £32.

Doesn't one of the Land Rover Discoveries have an inline stat?

I have one that was off a Rover kV6 with a bypass built in.

Freelander has one too on the 1.8 k series
, plenty of those on ebay being broken up.

The TF, ZT and later Freelanders (and possibly othe Rovers) use an inline thermostat that is sensitive to pressure as well as temperature (PRT).

The Freelander 1.8 PRT thermostat ( it should actually be called a PRRT but nobody calls it that ) is the same one used on the Defender TD5 Part number PEL100990 or sometimes PEM100990 it goes into the bottom hose and requires a equal Tee piece fitted in the top hose.

The Range Rover P38 4.0 & 4.6 V8 used a different design

Land Rover part number: PEM101130

Both can be found on ebay for less than £20.00

In its original home KV6 ones are a bit fragile the thermostat outer casing develops cracks and then leaks.

Looks like an expensive custom made way to cook an engine --- it has no warn coolant flow around the thermostat when the stat is close, so the thermostat won't open until the engine is well on the way to an over heat situation.

Or, there could be an internal bypass (i.e. a small pilot hole drilled in the stat...) to ensure proper warm up of the thermostat. Just because there is no bypass hose doesn't mean there is no bypass.....

Thats a bodge to get out of trouble rather than a desirable way to do it.

Thanks for all the replys...
