does anybody have any photos of where the water exits and enters the motor and what side of this is the thermostat on 3SGTE

Water enters the engine on the left hand side if you are looking at the engine from the front of the car, water exits on the right hand side of the engine under the CC right hand area, just under the air intake pipe, but to the left of the stock air box if you know what I mean ;) ;)

Look at the pics in my gallery, should be 3 of them, then read on.

To get at the thermostat, look under the alternator at a weird aluminium pipe "thing" (Pics 1 & 2 in my gallery)
To remove this, remove the dipstick securing bolt and twist the dipstick out of the way. Then undo the alternator heat shield - 1 x bolt, 2 x nuts. Then simply remove the 2 x 10mm head nuts from either side of the thermostat housing and remove the whole pipe, complete with thermostat
