I have an l-series so i'll check me haynes manual.......................
it says that the 'thermostat can only be renewed once the coolant pump has been removed'.

Took a good look at a TD4 yesterday and would guess that the engine mount would have to be moved and the engine jacked slightly even then access is tight for easing the thermostat housing off the coolant hose.
