I live in the sub tropics - something like Florida I suspect - where it rarely drops below 5 deg C on a winter night while summer temps are around the mid to high 30 deg C. Considering the M96 engine runs hot out of the box, I will try the low temp thermostat and report any change (if any) to the daily running characteristics.
But I am looking more to the long term reliability more than anything - new coolant & thermostat coupled with 5000 mile oil & filter changes (5W40 Shell Ultra synthetic) hopefully will do the trick.....
I've a lot of money tied up in my Boxster S (they cost about 2 to 2.5 times more here than the US) so I'm hoping the Raby/LN Engineering boys know their stuff.
