Hi
Sorry if this is a klutz Q but I have just got Defender 90, 200Tdi. Today I managed to successfully do complete change engine oil and filter and planned to drain cooling system so I know age and strength of anti-freeze.
I cannot work out how to drain the radiator!
Looking from the top towards the engine compartment there is a low radiator pipe with a screw clip hard in to cowling on my left hand side. I think this is pipe to ease off but cannot get a screwdrive onto it so worried it might be the wrong pipe. There is also a pipe on the other side of the radiator - from what I think is the turbocharge radiator - but it looks more accessible from below. Don't fancy a faceful of cooling liquid when I get it off though!
Any tips on whether the left hand pipe is the right one and whether I need to get a 14" screwdriver to get it off?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Malcy
