Mhm, a b'tch really, shame to waste it..
Anyway..
It's all back together (minus the headlights, arches, bumper, grille etc).
Not really sure how to bleed it so just filled the rad, then popped a bottle upside down in it with the top cut off and filled with water.
Then opened the bleed point near the fuel filter housing until water appeared with no bubbles, then did the same with the bleed point at inlet to radiator until no bubbles. Topping up the bottle as I went (as needed) and repeated this process for about 10-15 minutes until car was up to temp (76*c).
