The thermostat is located under the throttle body when looking from underneath the car. You need to unscrew two 10mm bolts and pull - you'll get a shower of coolant!!! Then you insert the new thermostat with the rubber gasket (make sure the gasket is the right way up) and then bolt it back together.
I'm explaining it rather simply but the process is a bit of an arse as the space is pretty tight and fiddly.

It is traditional to open the drains & let the coolant out before starting the job!
Mustard mit, I would probably do it your way too!

That's a good one but there's also an excellent write up by xviper in "technical" - FAQs. including all the torue settings.
