I have to put a new radiator into my 300D (603 engine, non turbo) and I have consulted my Haynes Manual which, surprise surprise, gives me most of the information, but not all !
So here goes, Haynes says drain the system, by naturally undoing the coolant hoses but also by undoing the engine block drain plug...question, where is it and is it necessary?
Next stupid question: Thermostat: is it located where the top radiator hose goes into the housing to the right of the cylinder head...held on by 2 bolts?....I only ask as it looks much smaller than the thermostat housing on my old E280 which was very obviously the thermostat housing
Other than that it all looks pretty straight forward, however, are there any tips that can be given.
Thanks and sorry for being so dumb
