Cooling System Bleeding

[cinquecento]

Hi all,

What's the best way to bleed the cooling system on a 96 Griff (Serp). I understand the process abt loosining the radiator bleed nut, but don't understand why this is so.. wouldn't air be higher up in the system. The radiator bleed nut is actually quite low .. the top of the swirl tank and heater feeder lines are higher than the radiator.. isn't that where air would be trapped?

I have read on some other forums (not TVR releated but RR Discovery) that the car needs to jacked so the radiator is the high point in order to bleed the cooling system. Does this relate to TVR too?

Many thanks..

Rob..

When you say.. "and blow the water around the system" .. where do I blow?? (no jokes here!!)

Not too sure if I blow into the pipe removed off the heater pipe???

Thanks for this
