   Well I had to replace old one as it was burst so went to the scrappys found a newer saxo that had been smashed in the side near the rear took off the radiator, When I have put it in but not added coolant yet, obvioulsy havent started the car up, but will i have to bleed the full coolant system if so how is this done?
   
   Cheers

   Fill up start the car, leave the cap off, let the engine run for a few mins. (dont let the water get hot) Most of the bubbles by this point will have escaped or be trapped in certain places. These places have nipples or caps and are located, 1 end of the rad black screw cap undo till its just water that comes out. 2 behind the ecu mount towards the inlet, it has a valve cap on take off press till its just water. Then put the rad cap back on and job done.
