The collant flush plug is easy to get at. Just remove the black plastic shielding from under your engine bay and you will have direct acess to the plug, its in the middle at the bottom of the radiator.

Daryl, your right about the drain plug under the radiator, but you don't need to remove the sheilding, there is a hole which is directly under the plug. and there is another plug that is to drain the engine. It is under the engine obviously, the plug is in between the bolts for the engine mount on the driver side.
Do a search or maybe someone else will have the link to some pics for it.

That's strange, it works when I click on it.

Maybe if you try the parent directory?
