If your a dodgy pr*ck like me, just undo the bleed valve on the bottom of the radiator & drain into a bucket. Make sure you remove your radiator cap as well otherwise the water backpressure will hold water in the system. Then I usually just undo the top radiator hose, jam the garden hose in there on full blast & start the egine for a minute! :D
