Is there a radiator drain tap?

I need to drain some water to make room for anti-freeze.

Don't fancy loosening hoses for this purpose (unless I have to).

TIA

there should be a drain plug on the bottom of the radiator

cheers

you could always syphon the water out the header bottle add neat anti-freeze, run the engine and repeat the same the next day.

From memory the header holds about 1 litre so if you do it twice it should be strong enough.

This would save draining some coolant off.

Neat idea! Thanks again :slayer:

How do you get to the drain tap on the radiator? Ive had a look but cant seem to find anything. Do you need to remove the bumper to get to it?
