Next is to drain the radiator. I used a small plastic pipe on the drain tap at the base of the radiator. This worked very well, with zero spillage and takes out most of the coolant from the system.

Then around the side of the engine to the drain plug on the block itself. If you are careful here you can loosen the drain plug and direct the coolant downwards into the bowl. If you pull the plug right out it will squirt forward messing up the engine bay.

Now onto the main task, disconnecting everything that connects the engine to the car.
