are you asking where the drain is, specificaly on a rover or the whole general procedure? i don't know rovers specificaly but I am at the point of taking it down to the radiator shop. this way they dispose of the old fluid. it is more costly to properly dispose of the old fluid when you are doing it yourself. Note. radiator fluid does not go bad. it however very corosive to an engine and the chemical that keeps it from coroding your engine is what gets old and go's bad. i have started using "evans cooling" in my cars. its harder to change because you have to take out the small plugs in the block itself to completley drain the old fluid. but it is NOT corrosive to your block. Has a higher boiling point and uses less pressure which is better on all your seals and hoses. check out http://www.evanscooling.com/main21.htm if your interested in it. general instruction.
hook a hose up to the drain on the radiator. (best if vehicle is level or at a down hill slant) open the drain (after the engine is up to operating temp. so the thermostat is open--so you have to be careful IT IS HOT--)
Drain the fluid. close the drain. keep vehicle level or turn upward and refill the radiator. (you want uphill now so you don't get a air pocket in the top of the motor.) add fluid. start enging and let it get to the normal temp. the thermostat will open and then you will probably need to add mor flui. ( note you may have a closed system that you have a cap on the fluid level and must have the cap on for the system to work and do not remove while hot.)
again, take to the shop of a jiffy lube or something to change. it much esier.
