Hi all,
 
(Previous Posting:-
My cossie is running cold and the heater is blowing out cold air)

 
1st attempt to cure problem:-
I want to drain the rad and then refill using 'BARS Cooling System Cleaner' (Which says it will remove Limescale, Rust and Sludge)?
 
I hope that this will cure the problem and if not I will move to the next stage!
 
However, I would like to know the easiest way to drain the cooling system as looking into the engine compartment I am thinking that there is no easy way to do it.
 
Hopefully someone will let me know that it is not as hard as I think!
 
Regards
