I own a rover 25 1.4 (K-series) and i carried out a coolant/antifreeze (same thing) flush today. Here's what you need:
1. De-ionised water - a fewliters.
2. OAT coolant - usually the red one- a few liters (Concentrate)
3. A hose pipe.
4. 2 Jubilee clips.
Here's how you do it:
1. Undothe hose clip at the bottom of the radiator and allow the coolant to drain out.
2. Undo the top radiator hose that connects the radiator to the engine block.
3. Now open the coolant tank and fill (the water should start pouring out of the bottom hose). Keep the water flowing (low pressure only) until the water coming out of the bottom hose is clear.
4. Now put the water into the top radiator pipe and wait until the water coming out of the bottom is clear.
5. Re-attach the two hoses to theradiatorusing your jubilee clips, and secure firmly.
6. Next undo the bleed screw located behind the airbox on a rubber hose.
7. How begin filling the coolant tank slowly with de-ionised water until water starts coming out of the bleed screw hole (this ensures that there is no air in the system)
8. Re-screw the bleed screw back in whilst water is trickling out, and tighten.
9. Now pour 2 liters of de-ironed water into the tank, followed byconcentrateantifreeze until the level in the tank is at the max.
10. Now run the engine until it is at operating temperature whilst compressing the radiatorpipes with your hand to flush coolant through the system and back out into the tank, (this makes sure that the entire system is bled).
11. Now put the lid on the tank and wait for the engine to completely cool again. When its cold, open the coolant tank lid and top up the level with antifreeze if necessary.
12. Keep an eye on the tempgaugeover the next week and keep checking the level of antifreeze just encase you have a leak.
I hope this has helped.
