Good work How did you bleed it?

I stuck a hose in the top and opened the bleed points. Best method IMO Then I bled some more out to put the antifreeze in. But I think I didn't get all the air out because I went to get some more antifreeze and then pour it in and the water level seems to have dropped all by itself and I'm certain there are no leaks because I ran it whilst the front end was off to check So somehow it appears to have self bled itself! Suits me, although I can't see how that's possible if the bleed valves are shut.

I would rather do the cambelt I bloody hate changing rads on these. All cos of that bottom hose, it always wants to leak, or clips snap off or the o ring twists up or I cut my bloody handsHate

Yeah tell me about it! All it takes is for a clip to snap then you've got to replace the whole hose It is especially easy for that to happen in the cold when the plastics are brittle.

haha...

adapter removed on all my pugs... so much easier with a jubilee

I think this is the way forward.
