Anti freeze top up
« on: 09 December 2012, 18:35 »
 been waiting for drop in water level for 12 months and the old Gal just hasn't used any :shocked:

Is there a drain valve anywhere which prevents air getting back in the system so i can
top up with some anti freeze before the next sub zero weather.

thanks.

Yep, bottom right hand side of the rad if looking at the car, little black valve just twist it 1/4 turn then pull it and it will release fluid (also a garden hose will fit on the little spout)
