Thermostat is by the bottom hose from the radiator. Where it goes into the block. Take off bottom radiator hose, then undo the two 10mm bolts and pull out the thermostat.

Yeah the coolant will come out. I jacked up the car, I just put a basin under the bottom hose, undo the jubilee clip on the hose and pull it off. Your looking at about just over 6 litres of water. Take the cap off the header tank and let it drain out. Then i lowered the jack to get the last of it out. Once stopped jack it back up and undo the two 10mm bolts on the thermostat housing. Take it off then pull out the thermostat.
