Classic Draining coolant 2.4 VM

frog hopper · Dec 14, 2019

As above, anyone know if and where there might be a tap on the block to drain coolant from the engine, had a look but I must be missing something.
Thanks in advance, if you can help solve a dumb question.

Unfortunately... even though these Land Rovers were ahead of there time in innovation.... they didn’t install a drain cock
On the radiator
And if there is,, I have yet to find it...,
So I end up pulling the bottom hose....

Punch a hole in a core plug, does the same thing

Pull the lowest hose on the rad, undo a heater hose and blow compressed air through it in short bursts, that'll help to empty the engine block.

Make sure the cap is on the reservoir.
