Yes.

Correct bleeding is vital.
Take a torch, toilet roll, and tea bags.

Van back from garage today, seal had gone in the water pump and so they think that's where it was leaking from. That's been changed and now seems to be running ok and not losing coolant. Just keeping my fingers crossed that there's not been any lasting damage!
