take the cap of the header tank and let it idle for 20min, if that doesnt work massage the bottom rad pipe until it gets hot.

as above and make sure heater in the hot position or failing that pop off one of the heater matrix hoses which goes thru the bulk head in engine bay and make sure you have water flow thru the matrix as this is where air lock is likely to be.

System is self bleeding so unless you have an actual blockage it should perge its self!
