You should be able to disconnect the bottom hose from underneath the car if your hand will fit, needlenose mole grips are incredibly useful for releasing the clip holding the hose on. If you want to thourougly flush out the system take the thermostat out. the best way to flush the coolant is get a hosepipe stuck into the top of the rad, disconnect the hose and thermostat, start the car so that it pumps out its own coolant and just leave the hosepipe running until the water coming out runs clear. Make sure you refill the rad with a strong antifreeze mix for the winter
