Coolant Level ?

I've just replaced my coolant, and found that I could only fit in app 7 litres of the pink stuff!!!

The manual says that my bus should take approximately 17.5 litres from empty :|

I've removed the drain screw from the water jacket which is the lowest point, and i've removed both caps from the reservoirs, and removed the bleed screw from the top of the radiator at the front :?

Can anyone tell me where the remaining coolant is hiding please?

Just disconnect the pipes at the radiator end, it should get a lot more out :-)
