Hi guys

When I drain my coolant, I normally loosen hoses and remove the radiators to poor out the coolant. Is there a more elegant and less messy method to drain the system?

Yes there is....just turn the plane upside down :D

Sorry, just kidding. Excuse my ignorance here...but why do you have to loosen the radiator to drain the coolant? Isn't there a pipe you can rather loosen at the bottom of the rad to drain it, rather than loosening the whole rad?

Hi Duck,

My radiator is the lowest point of the installation, with the hoses connected to its top.

I see. For an investment of about R150,00 or less, you can make your life easier by having a little stopcock fitted onto the bottom of the radiator.
