If you was to put it into perspective and look at engine units produced and then compare the amount of units that had thermostat issues then it would be a very small proportion. So it would not make it common or mean that the engine had failings.

Most kv6s have now covered 100k + so are now having signs of things that are now requiring replacement.

It isn`t usually a terminal failure, but certainly a common problem. Ask any rover dealership or even xpart distributer what commonly sells. From ZS to Freelander, raises it`s ugly head throughout the range.
