Glad you got it sorted, sorry for the whinge, not had a great day so far :(

Can I just stress the importance of undoing the large plastic screw on the radiator before you fill the system, whether you use the coke bottle or not, you MUST undo that screw as you fill the system as this is what allows the air to be expelled as water/coolant enters the system, doesn't hurt to undo the others as well at the same time.

With the XUD engines you should undo all the bleed screws before you fill the system.
