Ibrar Jabbar Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Yeh, go for it Steve let it run, I normally leave the cap off and top up as the water circulates, switch your heaters ON hot and keep an eye on you temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, you need to get the air out the system, can you get it on a slope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 no i think i will leave this till the morning and when the wife isnt so grumpy i am right in saying that i dont bleed this at all ? and the air will come out on its own if i can get on a slope I put the nose in the air right ?
