Mazda Repair: thermostat, mazda mpv, radiator hose

Question
Where is the thermostat location on a 1998 mazda mpv sport?

Answer
The thermostat is located underneath the front of the van on the driverside of the vehicle. Follow the radiator hose up to the thermostat housing. Note: the rubber o ring must be left in place if you are not planning to replace the thermostat, which, by the way costs roughly $35.00 and may need to be ordered in advance.
