Bleed screw on the rad top right side as you look at it ? Open this and fill rad till water comes out the bleed hole close it once rad is full and coolant coming out bleed point. Move onto the throttle bodie (green brown blue plug) there is another bleed point here so repeat the bleed process. The last one is for the heater matrix up on the bulk head near the brake servo ? Undo this bleed point and fill rad as befor till water appears at this point (may need to run engine and rev car to get water at this point ) Thumbs up

I followed the coolant bleeding instructions in the FAQ when I changed my rad and hoses and it worked really well. I filled my rad through the top hose and the rad cap, then opened all the bleed screws and went from there.

It's not the throttle body, it's the thermostat housing. Yes
