thats good news,when youve fitted the new plug take your time filling with coolant to avoid airlocks, 50/50 water/oat anti freeze you may as well change it while your at it
Good news indeed! Although, I still could have HG problems as I do not know whether the previous owner overheated the engine......
There's no oil in the coolant or vice versa though. I'll keep everything crossed
I was planning to replace the coolant yes, but first I'll fill it with plain water to see if that was the only leak
What's the recommended anti freeze for mine?
About the core plugs......is Loctite Lock & Seal the one I need?

You could use Hermatite instead of Loctite.
By the way, the block drain plug is just to the right of your missing core plug !!
Be sure to fit the core plug the right way round (Lip to outside)

Jesus. That must've been pouring out! You said at the start of the thread you'd just bought the car. Was that plug missing when you made your purchase?! Interesting test drive if it was... Good luck with it.

You're in a time warp or your ****ed, this thread is from may 2011
Usually ****ed.
Must've got to this thread through a search. Didn't notice the date, sorry. Was too distracted by the fact that someone had bought a car with a ####ING CORE PLUG MISSING.
Will always check in future...
