you shouldnt need to remove the cam belt to change any thermostat in a 1.2-1.6 nova.

cam belt cover off, thermostat housing off, thermo out, new in and refit all other stuff

I took the cam belt off my sri when i changed mine because it was a cnut to get to the bolts on the thermostat housing because of the back cambelt cover...
