I've read of people letting engine come up to temp without coolant cap on to blow out the airlock BUT I think that could cause more harm than good & wouldn't try it myself.
hi mate its a weird one. but hopefully its fixed now. when i switched the car off there was a big gurgle sound and the level in the header tank dropped right down. so i left it for a couple of hours till it cooled right down. then i checked the level again still at max. so i took it for a wee drive all seems well hot air out of heater and the temp gauge went to just under half and never moved from there. so fingers crossed. i will still be keeping an eye on it tho.
cheers. oh i forgot when the fan came on when bleeding it the temp gauge never went over half way.
