I've read I don't know how many pages talking about bleeding the cooling system and all reference using bleed screws on the V8 but I can't find wnywhere that actually says where the bleepity bleep it is on the sp6.

The stat housing is clearly the highest point on the engine but I must be being totally blind because there's no bleed that I can see, and it drops down immediately behind meaning I wouldn't expect to find one there...

I've just replaced my dodgy hose under the coolant bottle and was hoping to go for a drive... The rad had a fair bubble in it and the main feed hose to the stat seems a bit soft...

Help...?

Where the metal catch to hold up the bonnet is (driver's side).
Feel directly under the airbox. You should find 2 small plastic knobs.
I think this is what you maybe looking for :-)

I think you're pointing me to the AC fill valves.

Any chance anyone could pin the tail on the donkey?

The tuscan only has a bleed screw on the radiator. Standard practise is to raise the front of the car and vent with the bleed screw. The tuscan doesn't have an expansion tank in a raised position like you have on the cerbera.

Thanks for the replies. I've ordered one of these to help with the bleeding process (pun intended)
