Yes it did come with a gasket Rob. I got the paper in case I needed to refit the old stat or reseal the new one.

Sometimes these jobs have to be revisited a few times. I also used some gasket sealant. Belts and braces me.

I finally have the gauge showing (what I call) normal temp at ⅓ into the normal sector. It was interesting to feel the top hose suddenly get hot coolant. Previously it was always lukewarm.

Last summer the gauge never left the cold sector. I tested the old stat and it opened at 62° when it should open at 82°. Not sure if it was actually defective or just that 82° was too low. I know the saucepan test is not a wonderful test. Also this is a cool country and fitting the 88° stat I hope will be a good move. I was toying with blanking off the rad in the winter, the heater was a cooler.:laugh: :laugh: but won't need to do that now I hope. Should be a lot better now.
