Ok, now this may seem like a really really stupid question... but how and where do i drain the coolant from the block? Being as both hoses enter at the top... green coolant was used by the previous owner and im replacing with RED, i want to make sure there's nothing left inside.

Under the passenger side exhaust manifold. Not an easy one. I just flushed it all as much as possible.

Cheers peter, ive had a good look but nothing to suggest an obvious coolant plug. Has anyone seen a picture of it? I dont want to undo the wrong one and get drenched in oil...

Or am i just wasting my time?? I just think it may be better than having the block full of tap water...
