David,
I recently fitted a new thermostat in my 214i, and found out, thanks to the parts chap that there are 2 types of stat. One has a plastic housing, the other a cast one , the stats are different might be worth while checking yours.

sorry, but the info should be ,press remote locking button on the fob 8 times, and not the drivers door as I said before, and then the horn should sound.

Sit in the car with all doors closed and press the drivers door button 8 times, not too fast, if all is working okay the horn should sound.
