....And I'm presuming it's a b*stard because of it's awkward location as opposed to it being done up too tight? Stupid Q but hey, I'm full of dummy Q's

yes.
look where the dipstick is, next to it is a lifting bracket, follow it down & you will see the single bolt.

Cheers chaps....

Right, one b*stard bolt.....

What's all the fuss? lol as soon as the pas fluid res. is out of the way there's plenty of room... am i missing something? 

Anyway, one thermostat housing loose.... what on earth do i do now?  i cant get any more of the stat housing towards me..... 

[RobG]

Separate it from the transfer pipe

Separate it from the transfer pipe

 which end will it seperate from rob? the bastard bolt end or the stat housing end?

[RobG]

Twist the coolant pipe or stat housing whatever is easiest for you

you might be more inclined to call it the b*stard bolt when you try to put it back where it came from.

yup .. I seem to remember Daz saying how easy it was (on removal) .... then I watched him struggle, and struggle, and swear , and eventually get it all put together beautifully ..

It is all due to the angle of dangle

The block has a 54 degree included angle so the bolt screws into the side of the block at 27 degrees from horizontal.

If you can judge 27 degrees from horizontal while starting the B*bolt in a thread you cannot see then it is easy

Having just done mine Webby, I found it easier, on replacement, to fix the transfer pipe in the required position with its b*&$@td bolt hole aligned, by, once aligned, tightening one or two stat retaining bolts ( the stat housing not necessarily in its final position) thus, hopefully, holding the transfer pipe in one place while starting the *******************bolt. I hope that makes sense.
