MG ZS 180 - KV6 Thermostat Replacement Full Guide

The MG ZS 180 uses the Rover KV6 engine, and the thermostats on these are known for two things - they break, and they're awkward to get at! No, making cooling system parts out of plastic then hiding them in the guts of the engine isn't one of my favourite design decisions to encounter. But I had to replace mine to fix a significant coolant leak, so here's a step-by-step on how you do that. It's a fairly involved job compared to many other cars, but there's nothing too technically difficult, so perfectly possible to fix it yourself. I also replaced the ignition components (coils and spark plugs) while I was in there, as it's a good time to do it with better access.
