Do you County owners know how to drain the coolant? I can't find a bung and bottom hose looks like it would only drain half the radiator.

Please Help!!!

Also what ratio of 10 10ths should I use?

TIA

Bruce.

BMac,

I'm afraid I cant be County specific however the Disco radiator also requires the PITA removal of the bottom hose.

langy used this technique on his Disco and I wonder if it might also apply at least in principle:

I used 3m of 5mm PVC tubing from a hardware store to drain the coolant into a bucket - the 5mm tube slides down the hole directly beneath the filler cap on the coolant resevoir. Jiggle the pipe a bit, and the PVC tube gets down to near the bottom of the radiator. Siphon away and let gravity do it's thing.
