Got hold of a grab rail for my 109 safari but got carried away with the theme when painting 🦓:vb-embarassed-laugh:

Hi wise ones, I was hoping someone might give me the lowdown on the existence (and location) of a coolant drain plug on the engine block of a straight six 2.6L? I looked in the manual and had a brief poke about but nothing obvious jumped out. Thanks, Josh

For one reason or another, I'm trying to remove the cylinder head from my 109 S3 2.6L petrol. I've managed to get the rocker cover off and remove all (at least I think all) of the bolts without disaster (penetrating oil is my new best friend). But there are a few parts I'm unsure about and I...
