Hey all, I’m learning the art of car DIY maintenance and slowly building my workshop knowledge on my rapid. However I have a few questions before I attempt to go ahead with the work. My car is now running over 100,000 miles and has not once caused me an issues. But it’s getting to that time in the cars age whereby maintenance is going to become a massive project to keep the engine life going. coolant flush and refit Im looking at flushing and cleaning out the coolant system. However I’m struggling to locate the drain plug for the coolant system. Can any one advise me we’re it is please ? Or will I need to drop the bottom horse pipe to drain the coolant ? engine oil flush I have neglected the fact not to change the oil every 10,000 - 15,000 miles so I’m expecting a very dirty and sluggy engine block. The last time it was service was over 2 years ago and it’s not been a regular change of oil either, there has been no issues with the engine block or any problems or leaks however I do want to clean the engine block out. But I have researched and notice this is a controversial subject for some. The question is, should I flush the engine, change the oil and filter or just change the oil and filter? All advice and views are welcomed. cheers all zak
