just take the hose off thats connects to the water pump (near alternator) that will drain 95% of the water out.

Thats right, pull the bottom hose off and let it flow (all over your Alternator and crossmember etc).

Ford are GREAT!!

My Coolant is always a nice blue colour, thats because it never stays in long enough to go manky. The car is ALWAYS in bits!!
