Well if u can manage to got the other hose off the rad, u can flush the rad with a hosepipe. U wont get all the water out, cos some will get stuck in the engine block as there is no drain plug, everythin below the level of the stat will still be in there. | |

i tried the left hose and some water came out, and the water bottle emptied, but not much did come out and i don't think that's all of it. | |

Yes, u willl get rid of some water, i dont think theres a hose right at the bottom of the rad, (tryin to remember from when i did it!) just go for the one thats the lowest of the two. U may need to take the cold air feed to the airbox off to access the left one as u look. | |

right looking from underneath the car i can't see the bottom of the raditor cause the structure of the car (metal beam) runs across it and the raditor sits above it. | |

i can't see the bottom of the rad cause it's covered by a plastic cover thingy. | |

Yes, take the top off the expansion tank & then undo the bottom hose on the rad. Then jus refill with right mix of antifreeze & water. Ul undoubtedly not get all the water out tho so remember this when ur mixin up ur antifreeze - ul be shy of the capacity in the haynes book by bout half a litre. | |
