Apparentley, there is a coolant leak where the Thermostat is located & got quoted $600 for the part from Honda Melbourne
Honda aren't noted for Mazda/Mitsubishi/Subaru/Nissan parts pricing unless they have an entirely different policy in Australia from the UK. Here they are renown for reasonable prices alongside Toyota.
Unless I am mistaken (I am not very familiar with the model), the thermostat seal is a rubber ring costing very little and usually this does not fail. Where aluminium housings are used there is a tendency for corrosion to build and push the seal from its position.
Some CR-V models have the thermostat in assembly with the housing. I don't know the OE price but there are plenty of aftermarket offerings and here the cost varies from less than £20 to less than £40 Sterling.

I suggest you do two things - get a second opinion and investigate the offerings of the local factors of aftermarket spare parts.
Thank You so much for your advise:-)

SOURCE: thermostat replacement
You're going to lose some coolant, so have a bucket or other container, and some fresh coolant ready. Follow the upper radiator hose to the point where it's connected to the engine. The hose is clamped to a metal housing (water inlet) which is bolted to the engine. Remove the bolts (not the hose) and lift the housing to expose the thermostat (may require a little prying with a screwdriver or similar tool). Note how the old thermostat is fitted (which end is up), lift it out of the engine, and then remove all traces of gasket from the housing and the engine. Install the new thermostat and gasket, replace the bolts, add coolant as necessary, and you're done.

it should be located right outside the engine block. follow the black rubber hose going from the radiator to the engine. the peice it connects to on the engine should be where it is. if you buy a hanes repair manual from autozone for your car it will walk you through it

Question for you all, were you able to solve the problem by turning the thermostat? We are having the same problem and are hoping your solution worked.
