The thermo-time switch lives under the air distribution box, attached to
the block via one of the short through-bolts.  I think it's the second
small through-bolt from the back; a multi-pronged male spade "washer"
goes on the first through-bolt.  (I think - the wife has the van right
now!)  I don't know about the Bentley, but both the Haynes and Clymer
manuals have pretty good diagrams of the tin, so it's mainly a job of
assembly, though you might have to trial fit some pieces to see EXACTLY
how they go together.

You can pmail me for more detailed info; my wife usually drives the other
car!
