I don't have a picture but the block drain plug is under the exhaust manifold. The rad drain plug is bottom left of the rad. |

No. It's under the exhaust manifold. ^That's the intake manifold.

You can get at it from under the bonnet. It's quite a long way back, and you'll need a universal joint to get a socket on it IIRC. It's just a hex head I think. Worth doing though. When I flushed mine through there, I got out tons of muck from a blown head gasket that hadn't been got out previously. Edited by martinw190, Sun Oct 15, 2017 11:46 pm.

The one in the picture is one of the core plugs. As above, the drain plug is below the exhaust manifold (driver’s side) |

Yes, it's tricky...but worth it! And yes, I had to go and buy a 3/8 UJ as all my main stuff is either 1/2" or 1/4" and my backup 3/8 drive kit didn't come with a UJ. Nothing else would fit. |

thanks for all the guidance folks its as you say Martin, UJ s required. ive got a 19mm or a 3/4 to fit but access is tighter than a tight thing - it wont be getting stolen in a hurry! |
