one quick way is to start the engine after it has dropped to ambient
temperature, the upper hose which feeds the hot coolant from the
engine _into_ the radiator will get hot first the lower hose which
feeds coolant back into the engine will get hot after that. If the
thermostat is working the hose will get hot rather quickly just after
the thermostat opens.
