This enjoyment will take place today in the hope for a leak free cooling system.

The 'stat is a piece of cake on a BMW though..........small tip John, I use a pair of miniature mole grips on the large hose clip on the 'stat housing, slide the released clip down the pipe, and allow it to remain in place throughout.
It's a tight job, and budget for a leisurely three hours when you do it.
A an aside, the o ring material formulation was changed, what colour is the replacement you have? the old ones were blue, and the new ones yellow.
The blue ones don't like OAT
Have fun
