No bleed pipe. There are plenty of threads on here as to how to FILL it so as to avoid air-locks.

The one I use is to remove the rearmost pipe from the top of the metal filler tank, shove a funnel down it and pour the antifreeze in from a jug, etc, S L O W L Y to avoid it glugging. Stop and replace the pipe once that tank is full. It took me nearly half an hour.

Start the engine with the cap off, run it until it gets hot, watching for bubbles and topping up as necessary through the pressure cap.
Once it's hot, replace pressure cap, drive round the block and check again once cold at the pressure cap and the overflow cap.
