Coolant drain

[Tinymartin]

Can anyone please tell what's the best way to drain the coolant system on fiat ducato 2.3 140bhp 2021?

Any particular reason?
Pull off the bottom hose?

Hose is hard to get to and has new hose clips . Thought there may be drain plug.

These radiators are rubbish and mostly made of plastic, including the drain plugs.

My advice would be the bottom hose. It’s what I did on mine and simply replaced the jubilee clip as mine needed it. If you open the drain plug and it then starts to weep under pressure, it’s a problem as they’re pretty rubbish.

Looking at your Avatar I was going to say give 24A a sitrep for a tasking

Who were you with, I was Scott’s DG B Sqn.

Why do you need to empty it?

REME attached to the infantry mainly and one tour with 2RTR I'm just asking as there are new vehicles and looks a bit shite at first sight.
