I have an GQ radiator with an SD33 engine in my patrol and I would like to know how or where is the coolant radiator plug on the GQ radiator because I just donīt see one any where around or if the SD33 engine has some type of drain plug on the block it self????

Hi mate, facing the engine bay from the front the drainage should be at the bottom left. It's a small white plastic knob that you turn anti-clockwise to loosen.

I can't get access to mine from underneath and you need to go from the top. It's hard to get your hand in but you can just get there from the top. The plug should have a little hose that comes out under the car too.

Just drop the bottom radiator hose off mate, done in a flash.

Yeah I drop hoses to! As drain taps can snap off.

Must admit the tap was almost seized on and had to use pliers to turn it which had me worried...Dropping hoses is a much better idea...
