Bit of a tricky one ... It all depends on the condition of the cylinder head. If the cylinder head is warped then replacing the head gasket won't solve your problem. A warped cylinder head can be skimmed (if not too badly warped). If the cylinder head is badly warped then it would be much easier to replace the head than fit another engine.

The thermostat on a Ford Fiesta Zetec S is typically located near the engine, often at the end of the upper radiator hose where it connects to the engine block. To replace it, first, ensure the engine is cool, then drain some coolant, remove the hose, and unbolt the thermostat housing. Replace the old thermostat with a new one, ensuring the gasket is properly seated, and reassemble by reversing the disassembly steps. Always refill the coolant and check for leaks afterward.
