Great help article, Pelican. It's taken me over a week, sometimes spoending wghole afternoons just trying to remove one clip, but I'm getting there. New thermostyat bolted in place, but the clip sirclip? thing that secures the thermostat to the big pipe at the rear won't go bacjk in. I've spent 2 days trying and I'm getting to the point where, "put a half kilo of epoxy glue on it and sell the car" stage - any suggestions would be most welcome!

The clip should be in the pipe when the thermostat is installed. Lubricate the pipe and t-stat o-ring with clean coolant. Then support pipe and press them together until you hear a click.
