Draining and filling the radiator
Evening all.
Thought I'd get round to one of those Sunday afternoon jobs and change the coolant on my Td5 since I've clocked 100,000 miles and the radiator hasn't been touched for the last 50,000 anyway.
Took the bottom hose off to drain it. Flushed the system by tipping 10 or so litres down the expansion tank.
I then refilled the tank with coolant untill it bubbled out the bleed screw in the top hose.
The problem is I only used 3 litres. The LR book says 13 litres.
Took it for a short drive to get it up to temperature but no change in level.
Any suggestions? How do I add the other 10 litres of new coolant?
Many thanks in advance
