As above lads, is there a bleed screw on the engine? Had a radiator pipe off yesterday and now she's full of air. What way would ya go about bleeding her?

Remove the rad cap, Get the engine warm, whack the heaters on full, and squeez the rad hoses like fuck until air bubbles stop coming out the rad. Works every time for me anyway.watch your hand off the fan when doing the bottom hose. :)

Is it essential to have the heaters on? Sometimes mine work and sometimes not...
