Anyone done their own coolant change.

Was it easy or would you just let a pro do it. Not a total numpty but very close.

If you think I should have a go, any instructions/hints you could offer would be appreciated.

Search this forum, there was a long thread about this. It is very easy and should be done in under an hour.

Hi. I did mine, and am ready to doit again. Very easy, and can be done with minimal mess. Service manual will tell ya to replace the little metal seals on the (three, I think) drain plugs. Replace 'em. No sence in doin the work and having a leak.
But nontheless, it is pretty simple, doit yourself and save the money. Just be sure to use a good, up-to-snuff brand and mixture of coolant.
