Follow bottom hose on radiator back to the block on the drivers side...
The alloy casting it attaches to locates the thermostat...
Take it off....thermostat falls out..

There's 2 bolt on that alloy housing, and also undo the bolt lower down on the elbow, get it from underneath (take the bash plate off).
Did yours really fall out? My thermostat housing only moves out about an inch max as it hits the turbo elbow, tis a right b*tch to get the stat out! And even harder getting it in.
