Got home from work, let the livestock out on the lanai and changed clothes.
Headed out to the garage to drain, flush and refill the cooling system on the 300D, as well as both hoses. Drained the system, got both hoses off without incident and removed the thermostat, which I did not replace as it's working fine. I do wish I had a thermostat seal, as the one on the car was pretty hard. I flushed with lots of clear water, including the heater circuit, and after everything drained I used compressed air in the heater circuit to flush as much of the water out as possible. Got the new hoses in place, the thermostat housing cleaned up and the bolts set with anti seize, and sealed up the system. A bottle of RedLine WaterWetter went in first, then about a gallon of MB (blue) coolant premixed at 50-50. Ran for a few minutes with the heat on, ended up getting a total of almost two gallons in the system. Road tested several times with proper temperature, lots and lots of heat when desired, and all is well. That's it for the evening. This weekend I have to move some furniture from the MIL's house, then when I get home I'm adjusting valves on the car, as I don't think they've been done in a long time. After that I'll have the transmission fluid/filter/B1 kit and engine mounts left to do.
