Thermostats...

Thermostats...
hi there!
My XJ-S V12 will be getting some new thermostats this weekend. New 82 degrees as it is catfree...
After comparing the OEM with originals, the originals have a little valve at the top. The OEMs don't. Is this really important to have? None of my other cars have had this kind ofvalve in the thermostat. Is this just a medievil survivor of postwar times or do they really need these valves?
Can I fit the new thermostats without worrying?
Cheers

Hey,
yes, they are from Jaguar. Purchased them from my "local" (about 15 miles away) Jaguar dealer. They wanted me to take some 89°C thermostats... But I insisted (no cat) on 82°C.
They carry a Jaguar stamp and the EAC or what ever number it was again
And I don't know how, but I managed to spell my own name wrong... Damien... Not DamieM
Cheers
