Yes, there will problely be an other one on the bottom of the radiator.

[simonm]

i reckon it will need replacing as the stuff that came out is like snot!

[Hodge]

Its so you can flush the sludge out of the block.

Yes I have a 995 Jon, its a bit rough but mechanically sound, I have a splitter on the back and a loader in the front. She starts fine when using the excess fuel tap on the pump and I have had a heater plug fitted, new alternator, new brake seals and shoes and the hydraulics sorted out.
