Hi guys,
Do I need to drain coolant (or a part of it) to change top radiator hose? Is the coolant level higher then termostat?
Car is '91 2wd

Many thanks for advice

Apologise my stupid question, :bang:
I've just reallise that the level of the coolant will be same as shown in reservoir tank - gravity law!!!!
will put a stick next to collant tank and than compare that with termostat level.

Simple as that.
Thanks Purple
 
Your biggest problem will be the poxy hose clips Fiat fit. You may be lucky though and find its been replaced before and proper British jubilee clips have been fitted.
 
as sugested mate,
proper jubilee clips made in Shefield. I did add really thin layer of hi-temp silicone - just in case, already done aprox. 40 miles and no leak.
