Ellens corsa B 1.2 is overheating too oftern (every day). The fluid is horrid so gona get some rad flush and re fill it with new stuff. Thurght Id better check thermostat too. Where is it? Should jump out at me, but I cant see bloody thing. Do they oftern go? Any other reason why it would be over heating?

no corsa engines used carbs, It must be a 1.2 8v single point injection. I'd flush out the coolant before taking out the 'stat.
