    Maybe someone has removed it that will cause most engines these days to overheat.
    And when you buy a new one buy genuine and save the headaches involved with aftermarket junk.

    As roofy said, would help to know which engine you had......... But I think in all cases the top thick hose that goes from the radiator and leads to the thermostat housing, 3 bolts hold that down, top comes off and thermostat sits in there. Just remember to get a new gasket as well if you're changing it youself.

    I always thought that if you took the thermostat out, there would be a constant flow of water to keep the engine cool........... Sorry I'm not mechically minded and don't fully understand the workings

    On some the coolant circulates in the engine only until the thermostat opens and diverts it through to the radiator.
    When removed it circulates through the engine only a common stuff up by old bush mechanics.
