Talbot Express 2.5D Coolant Drain, Flush & Fill.

Talbot Express 2.5D Coolant Drain, Flush & Fill.
In this video I drain, flush an replace the coolant on my Talbot Express Camper. Its surprising how much discolouration there is and how long it takes to clean. I spent a lot of time flushing with the hose pipe (far too much to film continuously) whilst the afternoon waned into the evening!

Life’s always easier without multiple vehicles to maintain!

The missing 2 litres is in the heater matrix and pipes to it ! You should have used a vacuum system to extract what was in there and then refill it. It takes seconds and completely empties and refills without air pockets.

[@TheRepairer]

I put in two litres more in than I got out probably due to collective spillages when draining the system at multiple points that were difficult to collect the coolant like the heater matrix radiator. Not everyone will have the vacuum equipment.

Hiya mate is the drain plug in the same place for the petrol version?

[@TheRepairer]

I understand from my research that engine block drain is at the rear of the engine for the petrol model near to the gearbox, if I’m mistaken correct me!
