COOLING SYSTEM

Filling

Close both drain taps, open the heater control fully and remove
the radiator filler cap. Fill the cooling system with clean (soft) water
and run the engine at approximately 1,500 r.p.m. for 1 or 2 minutes.
Top up the radiator and replace the filler cap. Completely fill the
plastic overflow reservoir with clean water.

Screen Washer (Fig. 46)
Examine the water level in the plastic windscreen washer
container. If required, lift off the cap and replenish the container
with clean water. Under freezing conditions, fill the screen-washer
container with a mixture of methylated spirits (alcohol) and water,
the recommended proportions being 1 part alcohol to 2 parts
water. This may then be used to disperse ice and snow from the
windscreen. Do not use anti-freeze solution in the windscreen
washer as this may discolour the paintwork and damage the wiper
blades and sealing rubber.
