Unfortunately the thermostat I have no knowledge of because I have the 1.6d CS engine.

It's a nasty job lying under the van and trying to make oil go uphill. You can use a length of old garden hose routed through the right hand rear wheel arch into the gearbox filler hole, terminated in a small funnel at the top, and fill with ease from a standing or sitting position.
