thermostat and coolant change
#1
having some problems with my car not heating up, never seen it go up to 70c so im going to change the thermostat and flush the coolant for winter.
Is it just as simple as removing the bottom rad hose draining the coolant, then removing the thermostat top cap, replacing the thermostat and new gasket and refilling coolant through the expansion tank.

Are there any bleed screws on the hdi ? and what coolant do i use and how much do i need, i know this has been quite specific on previous cars ive had, e.g using the orange OAT stuff.
