Quote from: SmbFD3S;606872There\'s a drain plug on the bottom of the radiator to remove the coolant.  There is also a bolt in the centre plate to completely drain the block underneath the spark plugs and would recommend doing this...
 
Oil i assume you\'re ok with?
 
You will need to remove the downpipe yes b4 taking the engine out, for this you\'ll also prob need to disconnect and move out the way the steering rod link... I had to

Yep no problem with the oil. I do routine maintenance on the Supra so I can drain oil, just never done coolant before and not sure about drain plugs on engine block, but I know they\'re there somewhere. OK. I\'m probably asking far more questions than I need do and should probably just have a go. I\'m just trying to build my confidence beforehand :)

Thanks for your help. I did a bit tonight and might have a proper bash at the weekend unless it\'s nice and sunny tomorrow evening.

And don\'t forget to undo the oil lines to the oil rad. There are little metal circlip type things that lock the lines to the lines on the engine - these just pry out, and then the hoses and be pulled apart. Don\'t lose the circlips! (And catch the oil too!)
