I have just emptied the coolant and flushed the rad with clean water no problem getting through there, I then put back on the expansion tank and blew the remaining water out with my lungs. Ran some more water through a couple of time and I can hear it flushing thru the rad and out of the bottom hose. water out is clean no muck.

Blew until I got no more water. So have now connected back up the bottom hose and am going to start filling up.

ok when its filled up run engine and bleed topping upas you go ,you will know there is no air in there when the flow out is stronger and continuous and you dont hear it make sure it is topped up replace cap and drive round the block .make sure you hear no gurgle noise on turning on ignition ..
