Bleeding the air
I just recently put a radiator in my 97 discovery but I think the process at the end I need to bleed the air is that correct? And if so, can you give me any details or steps to do that.
Fortunately, it is not a difficult thing. So long as the thermostat has the jiggle ball up at 12 o'clock, just park with the nose slightly uphill (if possible) and fill it up. Let it sit for a while so all the air bubbles out of the block into the radiator. Maybe open the radiator fill plug and top it off, or just take it for a short drive and check the reservoir afterwards. I like to top off the reservoir after each of the first few drive cycles. I keep the reservoir cap loosened a bit for less pressure, so it's easy to remove and check the level. It should sit right about at the reservoir seam on level ground.
