When you drain the radiator, and the water is fairly clean(ish), ( if it ain't, flush it ), there is no need to drain the engine block as well, just lash in 4 litres of the blue stuff and top up with H2O. Give it a run to check for leaks and air locks.

Hi,
The site was down a bit yesterday, so might not have worked for you then. You do need to have Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer to view the page though.
Hope this helps

And you won't get one either, as they were never made. This is the only place you will ever need to find out all your info.
