Coolant Flush TD42

[Antznz]

Hi guys.

Need a little help with my coolant system.

I've drained the radiator via the drain on the RHS but the engine drain plug is completely seized. Tried a range of breaker bars, crc etc but it won't budge. I'm sure if I get two mates and both yank on it it will break free but most likely it will break.

Is there another way to drain the coolant from the block. By the way whoever put that drain where it is should be flogged. Not very handy…..

HELP

Try tightening it first, then back it off. Had issues with this on minis and works every time. Please don't swing off it when you tighten it though...

Hooroo

Cheers fellas, always nice to get assistance and not just some flak from a cross the ditch....

you could also do a reverse flush through the heater hoses
