how many litres in the whole rad coolent system

I'm doing this too whilst changing the heater matrix and fitting an electric fan. Is it worth flushing and if flushing is there anything I need to know/do?

I would agree with those people who mention the hydrometer, I bought one for about £3 off ebay and it is simplicity to use and you know exactly what it is without guessing. I always check now after I bought a Ford Capri many years ago (it was cheap and I just needed something for a couple of months) and a week after I got it we had a big freeze and the engine block cracked..... Stuck a 2l engine in to replace the 1.6l without changing the box so it was most amusing for those couple of months then sold it for more than I got it for inc the replacement engine

Thanks.....
