Evening All ,

After flushing and filling with new (G13!) coolant and bleeding Rad
for England still got a little bit of air just under Dalek cap .

When stone cold I've removed Dalek, squeezed big hoses and managed
to get coolant to brim , but b....y air like a small squashed banana
remains .

Expansion Tank full and Fan kicks in ok .. Temp rock steady at noon .

What's best and easiest way to remove said bit of air , without parking up the Eiger ? :lol:

Atb,
Chris

Sound like you are being a bit to tough on your self here! I actually intentionally leave some air in to keep the pressure down. So I doubt a tiny bubble will hurt

The first time the Darlek Cap opens under pressure, the air will be purged into the expansion bottle.

Well that makes me feel a whole lot better , thanks for that !

Keeps niggling me though ,as the air doesn't seem to move after
a run , or very lengthy bleeding . I'll have a last bleed tomorrow
it's become a fixation ! :rofl
Thanks,
Chris
