surely collant is drained from the bottom of the radiator?

 

that's where it is on mine, need to jack the car up on the 1.9 as the hose and clip are impossible to get back on otherwise.

 

pop into halfords and have a look at a mhaynes manual, just don't buy it, wast of time on the berlingo, badly written

undo the bottom radiator hose then put a cap with a pipe off an old tyre pump and tape it to the header tank then plug it into your spare tyre the pressure will blow all the coolant out
