WARNING: Since injury such as scalding could
be caused by escaping steam or coolant, do not
remove the filler cap from the coolant expansion
tank while the system is hot.
Drain
1.Visually check engine and cooling system for
signs of coolant leaks.
2.Examine hoses for signs of cracking, distortion
and security of connections.
3.Position drain tray to collect coolant.
4.Remove expansion tank filler cap.
LH side
RH side5.Remove drain plugs from LH and RH sides of
cylinder block and allow cooling system to
drain.
6.Disconnect bottom hose from radiator and
allow cooling system to drain.
7.Disconnect top hose from thermostat and
position open end of hose below level of
coolant pump inlet, to allow coolant to drain
from the system.
Refill
1.Flush system with water under low pressure.
Do not use water under high pressure as it
could damage the radiator.
2.Apply Loctite 577 to cylinder block drain
plugs.Fit drain plugs to cylinder block and
tighten to 30 Nm (22 lbf.ft).
3.Connect bottom hose to radiator and top hose
to thermostat housing. Secure with hose clips.
4.Prepare coolant to required concentration.

7.Unclip the bleed hose from the battery box.
8.Remove expansion tank from its mounting
bracket. Slowly fill the expansion tank with
coolant, approx. 4 litres (7 pt).
9.Raise the expansion tank approx. 20 cm (8 in)
vertically, coolant will drain into the system.
10.Refill the coolant expansion tank until a steady
flow of coolant is emitted from the bleed hole.
11.Fit the bleed screw then, with the expansion
tank still raised, continue filling the system until
the coolant level reaches the base of the
expansion tank filler neck.12.Fit expansion tank filler cap, fit the expansion
tank to its mountings and clip the bleed hose to
the battery box.
13.Refit the top hose into its lugs on the fan cowl.
14.Start and run engine until normal operating
temperature is reached, and check for leaks.
15.Switch off engine and allow to cool.
16.Check for leaks and top-up coolant to cold level
mark on expansion tank
