I'm about to change the thermostat but need to ask a stupid question ...... where exactly does it go in the car?

We're thinking it's inside the 3-way pipe at the LHS in front of the engine but wanted to check and make sure before we rip anything apart.

It's not shown in the manual and isn't in the "SEARCH" on here either.

Yep, it is the 3 way remote item at the front under the smaller chassis rails infront of the rad.

Good.

Just as we thought.

And to confirm that we have the right part (we got it off TVR Power) is it this ?

Yeah, a sealed unit.

We just put it all back together.

Once I get a new unit at least I'll know what to do.
