Sooo, we've actually been and gone and done something on the '38.
A not very interesting something, but pretty useful nonetheless, as it's not been done since full hose and thermostat replacement.
Yes, today it was Replace the Coolant Day. I was very happy to note that the stuff that came out was pretty damn clean, with no grot in it at all. A test drive showed all was well, with only a tiny top up required when she'd cooled down again.
The manual says, to remove the LH (as you sit in the driver's seat) engine drain plug, then they helpfully route the autobox oil coolant pipes right in front of it. The RH plug comes with the explicit instruction NOT to remove. No idea why. Perhaps that's where they've locked the mad old relative?
Still got rear shocks and driver's window regulator to do. We'll get there!
