Hi there!

If you want to drain you radiator, just use the drain plug located just below the radiator. But in order to do it,you must at least turn off your engine for 30 minutes so that the coolant/water of the radiator wont be too hot.

hope I helped you! :)

i am trying to think back and to my mind it it only did it after a change of coolant so am going to throw 2 bottles of flush intoit for a day or 2 and then drain it. tip wood

just asking, did you replaced the old coolant with the same brand or other? this may cause your engine to adjust to match the running temperature and therefore, spill put some coolant if necessary.

regards! :)

deffo a different brad.but its putting lots out. anyway ran 2 bottles of speedflush through it yesterday and drained and refilled. haven't gone far, but will have to see what the story is.

could be air lock

Hi You may need to check your radiator hoses for swelling.
Can cause this type of fault mentioned.
Best to replace hoses if that is the case.

ok. 3 bottles of speedflush at once, ran in system for 3 days and drained. refilled with water, drained. refilled with coolant. tested fine for the past week.
