We've just bought an 820 with a Thorneycroft 108 engine and I've been reading up on how to drain the system (prompted by the article in the current edition of the magazine!).

As I'm new to this engine I thought that the Thorneycroft Owners Manual would be the best bet but after reading the relevant section I'm confused.

The instructions are:

I read the sentence starting 'Alternatively' and can't follow it at all although I assume it's suggesting that purging the system with an anti-freeze mixture is the goal.

Does anyone have a recommended method of draining or otherwise winterising the raw water system on this engine please?

Many thanks,
Bernie
