Removing the thermostat from 2000 Citroen Dispatch

mini_thermos.jpegmini_thermos.jpegthermos.jpegHi there folks me again.  This time, I have located the thermostat from my 1.9D Citroen Dispatch but can't seem to pull it out as I hoped. Does anyone know how I can remove this thermostat without the entire housing around it coming out as that looks a lot more complicated to remove?  Thanks again.

UPDATE: Hello guys....I've resolved the issue.  Just so you know, the thermostat can be pryed out of the housing carefully using a sharp knife or blade.  Do be careful though as you don't want much damage on the rubber seal around it.    smile

Whenever I've bought a thermostat it comes with a new rubber seal. I'd take the seal out and replace it, making sure to fully clean the mating surfaces

Is it just the photo, or is the housing casting behind the thermostat the texture of polystyrene?

It is good to see fixes, workarounds and "what happened" posts.

Ha ha no it is actual metal but the light makes it look like something else.
