When I did mine a couple of years ago I used a Lancia integrale stat because I could not find one. But it did involve modification, which included drilling and then tapping, so by no means straight forward

They are *very* difficult to obtain. They are no longer made, even by second sources, and so far every lead I have followed has been to a dead end.
There have been a couple of threads recently in which people have (a) placed a renault capsule directly in the top hose or (b) cut the top hose and placed a manufactured inline thermostat in the gap.
There *may* be some available in Brazil.

I got mine yesterday from Ebay. The shop is mancars1992. The thermostat is a N/A one that needs 2 more holes to fit in turbo engine and it did cost 50 euros and shipping 15 euros.
I am really excited about it. It was very difficult to find one.

Not that I have an issue at the moment but planning for the future; what Renault 5 serial number is the one that'll fit within the hose if you know Neil please? Is it this one by any chance - https://www.dmgrs.co.uk/products/rover-75-mg-zt-cdti-inline-thermostat-89-degrees - although the temp rating is different. Also I know that many in the 75 / ZT community don't bother removing the original thermostat as they're normally stuck open so is this essential for the coupe? On a general note why on earth did they stop producing them as they're available for all other coupe marques ..

Thanks BBR. The up to date link as far as I can see is Neils:
Fiat Coupe Club UK » Forums » Advice and FAQ's » How To's » 16V (two litre) inline thermostat replacement
This is the one that's supplied by https://www.specialist-components.co.uk/.
My query was the spec of the Renault thermostat that's placed within the hose.

Scuderia found this Lancia thermostat which *appears* to be the same casting as the Fiat part, but which will require some holes and spigots sorting out: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Thermostat-Lancia-Thema-2-0-16V-Sauger-104-kw-7659876/191887794354
It also appears that Deltaparts still list the NA stat: https://deltaparts1.wordpress.com/deltaparts-shop/cooling/ (scroll down).
I can't find the thread that mentioned the Renault part.
