sorry i forgot to ask how much is the thermostat? and also do you need any gaskets or sealants/ special hose clips? or anything that may snap off to buy that you wont get with the thermostat?
so from that all i have to do is snap off 3 bolts split the hoses break the electrical connector and sensor and probably snap all the brittle plastic diesel pipes in my way then shout at the missus then run down the pub (joke) On the serious side thanks for that i now know what i need and will have a go at it at the weekend thanks very much1. drain down the coolant - remove front bottom engine cover and on the passenger side there is a drain plug and just above there is an outlet for a length of hose to slide on so you can drain down without getting all over the drive.
2. take engine and manifold cover off
3. take oil filter top housing off
4. disconnect hoses from thermostat
5. disconnect electrical connector from sensor
6. undo the 3 bolts - these are the star sort and will need an star type socket (can't remeber the correct name for them)
7. pull away from engine and rotate the housing towards the front of the car and gently it will clear the pipes.
8. refit new thermostat in reverse order and refill coolant.
