The Landie Thermo is situated just to the left of the radiator and flywheel (if facing the engine bay). It's very cramped in there, but they managed to place three large water/heat hoses to the piece. The thermo itself looks like a large white plastic (probably yellowish by now) Jarvis heart. It's the size of a large orange - one extension off the top, two extensions off the bottom (keep that in mind when replacing the piece - draw a picture if needed). The problem you're going to have is locating one (online is the best - $27 Rovernorth), then getting it out and back in again (unless your hands are very slim). First, place rags beneath the car (under your work) to catch as much radiator fluid/coolant as possible. You'll need some large/long clamps (channel wrench) to fit on the spring loaded clamps (since these are spring loaded - you'll have to place the ends of your wrench to fit around the raised tabs - squeeze the tabs together and slide back up the hose using a back and forth motion) holding the hoses to the piece. There are three of them. Make sure you don't cut/rip the hoses (also inspect to make sure they are pliable and no goop inside). After you get the first one off - here comes the coolant ( pick up as much as you can - deadly for animals - dogs love to drink it up). After the last one is off take out the old thermo and inspect. Make sure it didn't go bad by a crack/rubbing (from flywheel). At this point it would be good to run your hose through the system and get some of the OLD coolant out. At that time inspect to see if you see any clumps. If you do you should flush it with a radiator flush to get out all of the corrosive gunk in there (rad prob down the road). Now the fun part, getting that new thermo installed - hand fit the hoses back onto the three ports of the thermo (remember that drawing?), and again with the nimble work in using your wrench in applying the o-clamps back up the hoses to fit around the raised portion of the flare on the thermo ports. Make sure that after you have reinstalled your new thermo that it clears the flywheel. If not, you may need to use some plastic ties (zip-tab style) to pull it away form any moving parts. Now, all there is left to do is re-fill the expansion tank, and it may help to push down on the front (a few times) of the car to make sure the fluid goes where it needs to. When you start your car, just listen to make sure it sounds good - take a few moments to view the expansion bottle and that there is movement in there - add coolant/water if necessary. Hope that helps. I'm attempting a head gasket replacement this weekend myself- ye-haw!
