Ok, possibly a stupid question but where is the best place to drain the cooling system from?? Ive had a look but can't see an easy way to check the bottom of the rad for a drain plug, so should I just disconnect the bottom hhose and drain from there??

Any advice on refilling? Is a 40% mix of coolant correct?

Thanks in advance!

I ended up just pulling the bottom hose when I did ours. But be warned - it takes a LOT of water to fill it up (I think it's 12 litres)... (I used a 50% mix when I did ours)

Don't know about the Cerbera, but undoing the bottom hose is the traditional method on most cars. Before you drain it, make sure you know how to fill and vent it. It isn't always obvious.

Bottom hose will do it, did mine last month. Be careful of air locks when filling her up.
