Thermostat replacement

Forum: 

Hi,

I'm replacing the thermostat on my '98 Sirion 1.0l, am I correct in thinking after removing the air cleaner housing and standing looking from the battery side of the car when looking at the top and bottom hoses where they connect to the engine, the bottom hose seems to be the one where you find the stat...am i correct?

It seems unusual that the thermostat housing is actually connected to the bottom hose and not the top- or has somebody fitted them back to front?

Thanks
