Engine block coolant drain on 2000 Corolla 7A-FE

Quick simple question (I hope).

Where is the "engine block coolant drain" on a 2000 1.8L Corolla?

Haynes service manual doesn't give a very specific location, spent ages looking for it while coolant drained from radiator. Come 7pm, it's dark and I can't find it... the photo in the Haynes book doesn't really help at all.

Hope someone can help, thanks! Photos muchly appreciated.

Make sure when you take it out to give the thread on the plug and the block a good clean and then hit it with some thread sealant, the last thing you want is a poor seal and for coolant to drain everywhere...

Just in case there are any frustrated non-Aussies out there who do random Google searches to find their engine block coolant drain plug...

I FINALLY found the plug after about 45 minutes of searching on my US-model 1.8 L 2000 Toyota Corolla on rear of the engine block, most easily accessed from the driver's side of the vehicle. Pics are uploaded for reference. There's really no way to describe it. Also, you really, really need a flashlight to see it, even in broad daylight.

My Haynes Workshop Manual has a perfect picture of it (Section 1.18, picture 23.4) but the Haynes Repair Manual (the cheaper one) was useless.

Hope this helps!
