Well I guess you've got to find out why its got an airlock, often heater matrix can cause it over a period of time. Things i'd do: 1. Have all the plugs out and look at them. Do they all look the same? 2. Compression Test - see if the HG has gone. 3. Fill it back up with coolant and properly bleed out the system. 4. Run it and get it up to temperature. Make sure the fans kick in, the rad/hoses are getting hot. Also see if you've got any white residue by hoses that could mean a leak. Don't open the cap if it is warm. Don't put cold water into a hot engine. Good luck  ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

Bleed points on the rad, thermostat and the one for the matrix near the bulk head. Bleed the system in that order when up to temp. Should get the air out! ________________________________________ Still watching you... |
