1800 Zetec Thermostat Housing Replacement

APOLOGIES I HAVE PUT THIS IN THE WRONG FORUM PLEASE DELETE !

 

Ok guys - Ive been a long time away from the forum for which I apologise  - first child, new job etc !

 

However I now call upon your expertise please.........

 

Whilst loading my car on to the trailer at 6am Sat morning heading to Donnington for a track day, I cracked the thermostat housing on one of the outlets and lost all the engine coolant ! (quite common I have heard) 

 

I now need to replace the unit as its beyond repair.  The housing and stat are original Ford parts.  I sourced a replacement housing from Euro Car Parts for £50 (cheap looking part to be honest) and the 3 holes do not line up for the second part of the housing to fit to and I cant source a replacement second part.

 

I am also concerned by the sensors, I had to cut the wire as I could not remove it from the corner sensor - can provide pics if needed.

 

Can some one please advise on the best course of action please and where to source replacements? 

 

Thanks in advance.

Plenty on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=zetec+thermostat&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1311.R1.TR1.TRC0.A0.H0.TRS0&_nkw=zetec+thermostat+housing&_sacat=0

 

Just check that it has same sensor setup as yours - some later ones use push-in temp sender, others screw-in. Also, some have two sensor holes, some one and others none! So as long as it matches your original, you should be OK.
