Re: No bleeding hose

try lifting the back end really high, or better take off the large pipe heater feed to the heater circuit,the large one on the header tank and blow hard,that may prime the front heater enough for the water pump to shift the airlock when the engine is run on tick over. you say it has no bleed hose,is...

Re: Fan not working

it will be ok to run with the fans on as your local to the bash.my only fear is if there is something going on that you dont know about,ie air locked,or a heater blockage.
im afraid its your shout, whether you get it there or not.
