Its tricky 2 see. Mines a US 96 Petrol so maybe a little different than UK
one.
The stop cock is a white plastic "key" that=92s about 2" long at is near the
bottom of the radiator on the inside (i.e. facing the engine). U can c it
easier if u take off the stone guard from underneath (covers belts) and then
look back up (while lying on the ground) towards the left side.
U can also (barely) see it if u lean over the top of the rad and look down.
Its on the bottom right. Its quite hard 2 get 2
There are several writeups on 80scool and ih8mud regd. This. Ensure u drain
the engine block drain plug (access thru drivers side wheel well) as part of
it. I have a prestone kit add-on that attaches to the heater hose and allows
u to flush with the water-hose connected - so that=92s makes it easier.
Its easy enough (once u can get at the stop-cock) just several steps u need
2 take. Also ensure u run your inside heaters (incl. rear seat heater if
any) 2 help get all the fluid thru the pipes
Have fun

Hello everyone,
Newbie to the List here.
Can anyone tell me where exactly the coolant drain cock is on the engine
block of a 1996 4.5l petrol.
I had a quick look earlier (in the rain) and could'n't see it.
Any tips on draining, flushing and re-filling appreciated.
Cheers
