I share the partially working thermostat problem and was wanting to replace.  I just got a Bentley and I don't see a procedure just a diagram.  Can someone point me to the procedure?  Just peeking at the engine it did not seem like it would be that accessible to me and I was wondering what all had to be removed to get at the little devil.  Also, I have seen a lot of talk about the failing driver's bun warmer which I would also like to fix.  What is the usual cause of that one?  Procedure?

I ordered the parts yesterday and will change it this
weekend. Does anyone have any idea how much coolant
will come gushing out when I remove the thermostat? I
have only 1.5 litres of G11 so that makes up 3 litres
of coolant.
