MG Midget and Sprite Technical - midge 1500 radiator 1978 uk

hya what radiator does it have on this car, does it have both inlet and outlet on bottom , do you fill on top of thermostat housing. or the header bottle on the left hand side with the filler is half way down the rad .

im confused ????? how can u fill the header bottle if its not the highest point on the cooling system. and sits below most of the pipes
james gibson

James, you do normal routine top ups using the expansion tank unless your doing a full drain/refill of the coolant system as part of a long term servicing schedule

the in my simple terms explanation is expansion and contraction

the thermostat plug if made of plastic can easily loose its threads

but why be confused when you can have all the information you need with the paper copy owners Handbook (Ref: 0058) - http://www.mgocshop.co.uk/catalog/Online_Catalogue_Handbooks_5.html

plus you can back it up with the less convenient but more comprehensive DVD - http://www.motoringclassics.co.uk/heritage-range/c380
