the drain plug is on the left hand side at the back, you can access it from the wheel arch with a socket and extenion bar. its behind the engine pipe.

The plug is two parts - the steel adaptor and a brass threaded bung. The head of the brass bung will round off if the bung is siezed in the adaptor, easier to remove the adaptor and bung as one unit from the block, then refit with a bit of PTFE tape.
