I have seen the white butterfly drain point on the main rad. If I drain the coolant from there will it drain the coolant in the engine too?

No, the engine coolant is a seperate system to the IC system.

Lol......I meant the drian plug in the engine block and the main rad...

:wink: ....but you answered that one for me too.... :lol: :wink:

Thanks for the tip on the engine drain plug. They do seem very awkward to get too........a flush it is......next Q though.... :oops:

Where is the thermostat on the main rad. and how does it undo?

Thanks again Kris.......oneday I'll stop asking Q's I guess.... :roll: :lol:

It is within a weird looking lump of aluminium underneath the alternator. This is held in place by 2 8?mm headed nuts

No probs with the questions, that's what one of the aims of a Club and Forum is about :)

Will the coolant thats being flushed through come out of the thermostat point? If so the how can I prevent the corrosive liquid soaking all the electric parts in the engine bay.....it doesn't look like there is barely room to undo the thermostat let alone get a funnel in there to drain.... :lol:

The liquid is not corrosive, in fact it is a corrosion inhibiter :)

If you remove the housing and then the thermostat you can always put the empty housing back in place to help channel the fluid to somewhere that you would like
