Does the Ford Falcon Forte AU 1999 have a radiator drain plug?
I want to flush my radiator and I can't find it

i recently did this to my falcon, not fun either trying to get all the coolant out seeing as some still hides in the engine and heater box, but the drain plug more like a screw is on the passenger side of the radiator on the back wall not bottom little plastic looking thing, worst spot s**t leaked out everywehre into my eyes and mouth lol
hope this helps

You should see how much oil missed the pan when i first had a shot at changing the oil..

Is there anyway you could send a photograph of the drain plug?
When you said it's on the passenger side wall (not bottom) - do you mean the front or back wall of the radiator?
