I have a 1987 Olds Delta 88 Brougham> It has a plastic drain plug that is on the drivers side of the radiator. The knob is broken and can be pulled from the radiator. Can you replace this part or does it require a new radiator?

You can get these at the parts store. The one at this link should fit: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/Motormite-Radiator-Drain-Plug/1987-Oldsmobile-88/_/N-iiruxZ91sqv?counter=0&itemIdentifier=98889_0_2826_

I know it's not the kind you had, but it will work. All you really need is a plug. You can even forget about the petcock (lots of cars don't have them anymore) and just remove the lower radiator hose to drain the system.

Thanks for using FixYa.

I have a 1987 Olds. Delta 88 and I have (2) questions: Drivers side window will not go up or down, possible motor problem? Seat belt light does not go off

There is a sensor in the belt buckle that wears out over time and also gets dirty. Try cleaning the buckle if that does not work replace the sensor. Does the drivers window not roll down and that is what makes you think it has no power? Take the door pannel off and have someone push the window button while you test to see if it gets power from a volt meter. If it does then the motor is bad.
