The hardest part was removing and replacing the brass bung.
Bought glycol and water from Halfords, about £30.
Removed bung, about 2 1/2 Litres drained into the bucket.
Poured 2 1/2 L de ionised water into header tank, this resulted in another 2 1/2 L draining into the bucket.
Made a temporary bung out if a piece if dowel, bunged the drain and put 2 1/2 L water in header tank and ran the pump for a minute.
Removed the temp bung, poured 2 1/2 L water into header tank, causing another 2 1/2 L of now almost clear water to drain.
Poured 1L neat glycol into header tank and replaced the temp bung, ran the pump, drained off 2 L which was now turning red.
Replaced brass bung, topped up with neat glycol and ran the pump.
Letting it settle before I see if it needs bleeding.
The drain pipe/ bung was under off side , near wheel arch. My caravan is on my drive and I only had an 18 inch gap between the van and the fence, to work in.Would be easier with more space..
I was a bit apprehensive about doing it, however it was quite straight forward.
I rang ALDE a couple of times and they were VERY helpful.
