Okay so im going with the uview airlift and ordering it soon from Amazon 
Few more questions, is draining from the coolant plug enough or do I need to start detaching hoses to fully drain the system?
My idea was drain coolant from plug, replace plug using 15Nm torque (replace washer) then apply uview and collect remaining coolant.
Add collected coolant to the rest of the drained coolant. Get pressure to 27hg. Swap hoses other end in coolant bucket and watch the system refill?
Another question, im contemplating a 3rd rad can I drain the system via the plug and then use the uview to suck out the rest? I. E. Instead sucking up coolant allow the system to suck in air, to relieve the pressure then add the 3rd radiator after removing the uview and then start the vacuum fill process again? Or just drain via the plug and not worry about using vacuum to drain the system entirely?
Thoughts?

That is really tempting although I've just calculated using freight forwarder: NZD156 .... plus the original cost, of course
