Thermostat is here, circled in red:



It is held on by a couple of bolts and is dead easy to change :)

Not if the car is overheating after 5 mins, it will be the thermostat...

The thermostat housing comes off with 3/4 bolts, might need a screwdriver to pry out your old thermostat. Put it in a pot of boiling water, see if its working. Mind you they only cost a few quid, might as well replace it.

The housing is normally on the cylinder head, left hand side, there will be a fat hose connected to it.

Might want to flush the coolant a few times after replacing the thermostat to remove any airlocks.

:?

Car is overheating after 5mins of use, needle getting close to 100 degrees so stop thecar and allow to cool down!

Checked everything i could think of:

Coolant - Full
Oil - Level correct

Checked for blockages to the Rad (squeezing pipes) but still didnt help.

Only other thing i can think of is the thermostat is fecked..... wher is this located and how do they come out?
