Hi could anyone help me with the correct point to bleed air from the head please, just put a new rad on and want to ensure there are no air pockets left.

If you go on youtube search bleeding bongo there are 3 videos on there show you all you need to know hopefully.

please be carefull to ensure a tight fit in the funnel

The you tube vids are great But it should state A lot more often to use gloves that are deffo water proof as i had a very nasty burnt hand and lots of blisters over my fingers

So please wear thick waterproof gloves cos its damn hot hot hot work

Cheers dude, got the job done, no burns,no more bubbles(?) and managed to do it all myself with the aid of some pliable wire to hold the funnel with water level visible while checking expansion tank.
Often wondered what "that hose" did....LOL

Thanks once again....Phil.

did you get the bottom hose hot.

[captainphiliptaffski]

Indeed I did, water in the funnel was just short of boiling point by the time I finished, rather warm to the touch!

It took ages to heat up the engine to get the thermostat to open, quite reassuring really!
