I plan on doing a coolant flush.

How much coolant does the classic hold?

Does the radiator on classics have a bleed screw? If so where abouts?

about 7.2litres of 50%water and 50%coolant.
it has a bleed screw but its not very good. its too high up to get all the water out. best off takeing to bottom hose off the rad side (can leave on engine block side). then leave it to drain for 20mins. it takes ages for it all to come out of the engine block.
then flush with water.

What about flushing with a coolant/radiator flush though?

dj219957

i just used water. all you need to do is get the bits of crap out,
it does take a while to flush cos you have to wait ages for it to all come out of the block. unless you remove the stat. then it will **** out.

oh, p.s dont use the halfords pink stuff! its the wrong stuff as i found out! it is organic and caused a residue to form in my system, doh. i have no used comma blue stuff which is not organic and the problem has gone.
