Do not pull the bottom hose off the heater matrix, remove the antifreeze as he did refit the plug fill with cold water run the car up to temp let it cool , drain system again make sure the heater is on hot so all the water comes out the system, then refill with antifreeze run the car back up to temp making sure you leave the rad cap off so it lets the air out the system

That is how I do it. The fewer hoses you undo the better, especially on older cars.

Nice job, I like that you're being thorough. Just thinking out loud - let's say 20% of the coolant is in the heater, then that means that after flushing one time with distilled water only 20% of 20% of the original coolant is left, so 4%. Is it worth all this trouble (and risk of a leak by removing and putting back a tube) just to get the last bit out? Of course leaving coolant in the heater also means you're diluting the new coolant which is not a good thing. But the coolant I'm looking at is good to -40c so I think it'll be fine. I just looked it up in the owner's manual and it said to flush it with running water and then fill it back up.

I flushed today 4 times because it was brown, and all times with heated the engine and turned heat blower on inside. Stil not clear clear water because it only drains almoust 3L of liquid each time. But slighty yellow last time. Last flush was with distilled water, and final added 2L of G12 and 0.5 L of distilled water.

Just a month ago I changed the coolant (which hadn't been done in forever) in my 2005 picanto by loosening just the plastic radiator plug and the radiator cap. Only about 1.5 liter came out, when filling it up, after 1.5 liter it was full again. Is this to be expected?

No... You need to spray inside Radiator through Air blower or Compressed air as well.
