Am going to have a go at the hosepipe bleeding method tomorrow.
I've read the threads regarding this but would appreciate a kind of simple list ie;
1)
2)
3) etc
Will this method clear out all the mucky old gunge in the system?
Guess the engine has to up to temp for the thermostat to be open.
Today I found a few holes in the bleed pipe, close to the head. Waited for the engine to cool right down. Cut off the offending 2 inches and replaced hose.
Topped up header tank, approx half litre.
I've had this leak for blooming ages
Any hints and tips (even horror stories) most welcome
Many thanks

Ian
