I'm working on a new method too. It involves hauling the Bongo into the vertical position using a crane. I reckon I should then be able to bleed it using the drain tap in the radiator. No? I'll fetch me coat. :lol:

Hopefully we will find a method to bleed the system .......written or otherwise. I was told that doing it on a hill helps push air out of the system!!! My new stat arrived from bongo hq this morning just awaiting the metal pipe and hose now #-o Am getting impatient lol
