First you must remove the tube from the valve that leads to the heater,
then pull the heat control right out (closing valve) and start the
engine, then get a friend to hold a container under the valve, whilst
you put the revs of the engine up to about 2-3 krpm and slowly open the
heater valve then about 2 liters of water will come out.
When the water stops flowing stop the engine and reconnect the heater pipe and top up the radiator with fresh antifreeze. This is NOT enough for REALLY cold places, but is enough for places where you don't get much below freezing (south of UK for instance). But as most Minis leak everything anyway, you just have to make sure that when you top up the water you do it with anti-freeze. |
