hi put mine back in today,it took a while to bleed up and also had an air lock,just slowly put in your coolant/water,put your heaters on warm and check them every 2 minutes,if they go warm straight away you should'nt have an airlock,mine took a while but just squeezed all the hoses and kept turning it off and letting the level go down,
now its all good
hope this helps
