fill rad full - fill overflow half. start car and put cabin heater on hot and blower on full, that tends to prevent air locks. as said squeeze rad pipes you should feel the top one getting warm. check temp gauge and if you feel heat coming thro the vents all is well - a bit of revving helps. turn off car and top up rad (careful when you take the cap off - use a rag) and fill the overfull to desired level.
buy a haynes manual or similar - make life a lot easier and a good way to learn, thats where most of us started!! |
