Changing Radiator - any advice?

Anyone got advice or know of any FAQ on changing the radiator on a MY98 UK Turbo?

I guess the draining & refitting is fairly standard? Any gotchas for refilling the system?

Ta,

Andy

Fill the system through the upper collant pipe on the turbo (with a funnel of course). Watch for water coming into the header tank, once you have, reconnect the coolant pipe and top up the header tank. You shouldn't have to do any bleeding then.
