Something like this .....
There's a drain plug on the bottom left of the rad (battery side). Just loosen it.
There is a bleed screw on the bulk head (battery side), and also on the thermostat housing. Both blue I think.
When filling I use a litre plastic bottle with the bottom cut off. Wrap tape around the bottle nozzle and jam it in the header tank, so it is a good fit and don't leak. Fill up the engine with water, and leave the bottle almost filled (to give you some head!), so the water level is above the bleed points. Close the bleeders when fluid emerges. Run the engine until the coolant is warm. Bleed again. Remove bottle and put header tank cap back on.
Shove a hose pipe on anywhere you can and flush the rad and engine as best you can.
