Hi,
Need some more help I have been getting air lock every time I fill the system the headwas just done (uprated) But the temp rises to the 3rd single tick then I kill the engine stat does not open so I take it its an airlock.
Where is the plug so I can drain system? I put the rad in and filled it hoping to push out any air with blead valves. This seems to be a proplemm also hot air onlycomes from the side vents not the middle
Thanks
Mike

i remove my air locks by opening the bleed valves and blow through the header tank....never had a problem doing it this way
