Anyone out there know their way round the 2.0L diesel engine room? From other information received I believe I need to change the oil thermostat - but where is it? And how many spanners/pairs of knuckles are needed to change it?

I would also be keen to know where the water thermostat is hiding as well - just in case! The car is a late 2005 2.0L SE diesel saloon, if I get this sorted I may do a short write up as the blogs seem a bit lacking on these details, and cooling issues seem to be somewhat common on some of these cars. Answers on a postcard..........

Oil cooler thermostat is down on the left side of the engine as you look at it from the front of the car. 10mm bolt holds it on. Coolant thermostat is in one of the collant hoses. IIRC
