Its right behind the distributor, to the left of the red circle. The thermostat housing can be found by following the upper radiator hose from the radiator to the engine. Be sure to get a new gasket with the thermostat. This is a good time to flush and fill the cooling system. Get some cooling system flush/cleaner and a bottle of name brand coolant. I reccomend Prestone but i don't know if its sold in Europe. Since you live in a cold climate you should use 2/3 coolant and 1/3 water. After you refill it you will need to to bleed the system, check the howto Accordex made: http://members.fortunecity.com/accordex87/cooling_system_bleeding.htm

kroy, it may be in a different spot since he has a b20. It should be pretty close though.

Yea I was wondering about him having a B20 or not. Still if he follows the upper hose he will find it no problem. There probably will be a air bleed valve too.
