R53 thermostat change

Changed my Thermostat and housing out yesterday, being the first time I have done it , it was somewhat of a pain in the arse took little over 3 hours. I think if i ever do it again I could cut than in half. If you are not much of a DIY kind of person it might be worth it to just pay someone. NAM has a nice DIY write up that was helpful if anyone is interested .

2004 MCS JCW, 15% pulley, Dinan CAI, MSD ignition & wires, Mynes V2 header, TSW rear control arms, H-sport front and rear sway bars, H-sport lowering springs, Powerflex bushings all around, modified Forge intercooler, M7 STB , ATI Damper

Like many jobs once you have worked out once how to do it, another time would be much quicker, hopefully you won't need to do your thermostat again in the near future though!

Here are the DIY links posted on NAM:
