Re. The radiator top mounts, I'll have another look, as it does look like the radiator is sitting too low for the rubber mounts to be doing anything useful; the radiator is free to wiggle forward and back as much as it likes at the moment.

Re: Bongo Cooling System
The preferred method is vacuum filling, provided the rubber pipes are in good condition and won't split when the vacuum is applied and then the coolant added to fill the now empty space with minimal air left in the pipework.

If someone has looked after their Bongo, they will clearly be stating it in the sale. looked after is in my opinion:
Changed all the rubber and metal pipes on the diesel engine, maybe cut the rear heater out of the cooling system.
