on the top left hand side of the radiator there should be a bleed screw there,undo it and fill the expansion bottle till water comes out of the screw then tighten it up and start the engine and open the other bleeding screws until water comes out of them this should do the trick

Here's how to do it properly...

One thing I would recommend is to measure the amount of coolant drained off. Measure replacement coolant put in.

If you have put in less than original then you know you have an airlock.

Petrol engines maybe more forgiving then diesels, but overheating a diesel can lead to head gasket problems.

This is from personal experience on a 405!!
