i recently had the lower radiator hose blow, loose clamp, but i replaced it with only water and what little coolant concentrate i had at home for now. i'm replacing it with new coolant/water now, i was thinking i might as well flush it out too (the radiator cap blew too, so the little knob on the bottom of it fell into the radiator) where do i flush the radiator (remove a cap, screw?)? and how much (approx) coolant-water mixture fills the radiator system? (from empty)

i was thinking more of flushing the radiator and the engine, ie. finding the flushing hole, sticking a hose in there and wash it out first. its just that dads mate (toyota mechanic) hasnt got round to showing us where this is. would what you described above remove the coolant thats in the engine too?
