Apparently they are really easy to fit, except that it was my dad who told me so. I'm not saying my dad tells me lies, it's just that sometimes his concept of 'easy' is rather different from the reality. A few examples of this would be when he was laying my bathroom floor and we ended up with water pouring through the ceiling because a valve started leaking for the hotwater tank, or when he was going to change my bath tap but couldn't fit the tool underneath because the space was too narrow and then returned three weeks later to continue, but also had to replace a valve on the hot water tank because it ceased to allow hot water through (it was a different one) or decided he would mend the fence but ended up having to patch it rather hideously because he wouldn't listen when I told him that it was completely rotten so couldn't be fixed. He's not actually a disaster - he generally knows what he's doing but is too impatient to suss out the situation fully first, rather leaps in head first.
Anyway, back to the thermostat - having asked a few other people in addition to my father - it is quite easy to do as long as you take careful note first of where the two wires go! Must go and collect the thermostat from the Post Office tomorrow, it's amazing what they stock these days.
