Thermostat is located on right-hand side-top-front of engine. (where the upper radiator hose connects)
Two 13mm bolts, (from memory) for the thermostat housing. You need to remove the thermostat if you wish to flush the block and you'll have to re-attach the thermostat housing with the upper hose removed from the radiator. Remove lower hose from radiator, then you're able to flush the block, (from the upper hose).
To flush the radiator is similar; but connect the upper hose back to the radiator and disconnect it from the thermostat housing. Leave the lower hose disconnected. Again flush from upper hose.
Fit new thermostat; connect all hoses to where they should be; add coolant, (around 4-500mL); top-up with water until overflow reservoir is full. Once full, give a few squeezes to the upper radiator hose and recheck level, then start the engine, and keep an eye on the water level. Should be it.
