Windscreen wash fluid in the coolant reservoir

[Fuelish]

Because of brain melt i accidentally put about a litre of windscreen wash fluid in the coolant reservoir, i dont think it will be a problem what do you guys think?

It will generate a lot of bubbles. Lots

If you haven't ran the engine since. Just syphon it out & replace with the correct mixture.

Ive done around 30 miles since and all seems well.

You need to drain, flush, and change the whole system then.

It will bubble, and this will send air around the whole system, with the possibility of introducing airlocks at any high point of the circuit.

Simple question, is there a radiator drain plug?

[Glyn84]

On the Monaro at least, there is a drain plug on the passenger side at the bottom of the radiator.

[ARAF]

If you can't locate a drain plug, then removing the bottom hose will do.

[Fuelish]

All done, drained flushed and refilled, took the bottom hose off.
