Underneath the distributor just above where the gearbox is, you will see the bottom radiator hose. With the engine and coolant cold, undo the three bolts on the thermostat housing. Remove thermostat.

Put thermostat in a saucepan and ocver with water and confirm that the valve is closed. Bring the saucepan water to a boil and see if the valve opens. If not, then replace thermsost which are pretty cheap.
