Another tip for coolant filling
I know there are loads of posts about filling coolant on scoobs, but thought I would share a method I used recently for "fill slowly and do not allow it to glug".
I used a glass bottle with a constant flow spirit pouring nozel fitted and filled from the edge of a funnel that was tipped over to one side slighty. It worked a treat, but sadly my overheating problems are bigger then just a coolant change....
And yes, it was a washed out wine bottle..

Thanks for the tip. What pipe is it that I am filling the coolant via? I know it is one attached to the header tank. Is it the pipe facing the windscreen which goes directly to turbo area?

So I just fill that pipe until header tank is full and the reattach? I presume the header tank does fill up via that pipe?
As I start car to bleed system, I leave header tank cap off?
Do I only tiop up any required coolant from the overflow tank as car is running and not the header tank?
sorry for all questions- maybe you could run me through your process of easing coolant?
Thanks! I think I know what I am doing but just want to be clear !
