Hi all, with summer finally here it's time to do a cooling system flush on my 97 D1 (140,000 original miles). Pointers or how to hints greatly appreciated.

Summertime, Summertime is Here!

make sure you pull the two drain plugs low on the block - one on each side towards the rear. pain to get at, but I just did it and it is possible with perseverance. then change out your thermostat and you can run water in the thermostat hole and out the other two.

And this takes care of flushing the radiator also?

no, just the block. remove the top radiator hose, run the water in, remove the bottom radiator hose and let it drain out.
