Don't bother burping it, it's not reliable.
You need to fill as recommended above. Make sure the heaters are set of HOT before starting.
Pull the rear pipe off the header tank, (NOT the plastic overflow bottle), the one that sits on top of the engine. Stuff a funnel down it and fill SLOWLY, not allowing it to gulp. Mine took over 20 minutes.
Once water appears in the header tank, fill to the brim, replace pipe, and start engine, leaving the cap off. Mop up or top up as needed until the fans kick in, then put cap on and go for a ride round the block...don't thrash it.
On return, let it cool, check level in header tank, topping up as necessary.
That's it.
