Ok, so where are they used in the car, and why are they called Banjo?

Am I going to encounter any if I change my thermostat?

Thanks

Ok, so where are they used in the car,

Anywhere where there is likely to be large amounts of pressure in the fluid line (eg, brakes, clutch, fuel).

and why are they called Banjo?

Because of their shape.

Am I going to encounter any if I change my thermostat?

No.

A Banjo bolt is basicly a ring with a bolt through the centre. The bolt has a hole through the centre and an other hole at right angles to it below the shoulder, the ring will have a hose attached and the combination allows fluid/gas to flow between the two forming what would now be an elbow joint in pipework for low pressure applications. Banjo bolts are usually found in high pressure application such as brake fluid lines.

Main use in the Omega is oil cooler, if you replace it, make sure you buy brand new ones for re-fitting as the little gits have a tendency to sheer off
