I followed all of your excellent instructions, but missed this small paragraph:
'To drain any remaining coolant from the system R50/R53, from underneath the car, there is a 14mm drain plug green arrow located at the rear face base of the cylinder block adjacent to the starter motor underneath the exhaust manifold heat shield if looking down at the engine.

Can you include photographs for this, please? Everything is covered except this crucial bit which will allow me to get the remaining 3 litres out of the engine

I don't have photos to share. It would be in a repair manual. Give our parts specialists a call at 1-888-280-7799. They can get you the Bentley manual.

I'll have someone review and update that particular section in the article. Thank you for pointing this out.
