Car Forum / MINI / June 2004Radiator Help
Hi all... i'm gonna sound soooooo dumb here, but i haven't got my haynes yet (on order) and this is my first mini..... Can i hellers like find the drain for the radiator, the system needs a flush and i can't find the bugger any where. Sorry for seeming dumb... Mick p.s. it's a 1984 mini 25 (998) It depends on what model you have and what year? Some cars have a tap on the back of the block, some have one at the bottom of the radiator, some have nothing but a bottom hose to loosen... jono  SignatureBarspeed Mini`s - Devoted to the Classic Mini "Persisto Transverbero Adversum" Email - barspeed@hotmail.com The Rover Mini Se7en Register - http://www.geocities.com/minise7en2001/ Barspeed Mini`s - http://barspeed.topcities.com Barspeed Mini`s Group - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/barspeed Barspeed Motor Album - http://barspeed1.topcities.com If you have received this email in error please click below. barspeed@hotmail.com > Hi all... i'm gonna sound soooooo dumb here, but i haven't got my haynes yet > (on order) and this is my first mini.....

As you look at the engine, look to the left of the carb, between the exhaust downpipe and the back of the engine, there should be this brassy hex bolt, that should be the block drain hole. jono SignatureBarspeed Mini`s - Devoted to the Classic Mini "Persisto Transverbero Adversum" Email - barspeed@hotmail.com The Rover Mini Se7en Register - http://www.geocities.com/minise7en2001/ Barspeed Mini`s - http://barspeed.topcities.com Barspeed Mini`s Group - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/barspeed Barspeed Motor Album - http://barspeed1.topcities.com If you have received this email in error please click below. barspeed@hotmail.com > it's a '84 998 mini 25.... > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > > Version: 6.0.699 / Virus Database: 456 - Release Date: 04/06/2004 > I think from memory it is a brass blanking bolt in the back of the > block.

IMHO it's easier to pop the bottom hose off with a long screwdriver. It's also lower then the drain plug on the back of the block, so you're more likely to get more water out. s. > it's a '84 998 mini 25.... There is no drain on the radiator since the early 70s. You have to undo the bottom radiator hose to drain the water. |
