Good idea on the magnet. thanks for this.

So draining the cooling system is not as easy as it sounds. Getting the lower radiator hoses off is non trivial. There does appear to be brass plugs under the water pumps but they have very little clearance from the front axle/strut thingy and are difficult to get to. I'm keen to be able to change the coolant every couple of years without major engineering. Thoughts?

Graeme - looking forward to meeting - will likely be at the rod show in the Hutt tomorrow. D,
