Think I have an airlock and would like to bleed cooling system. Does anyone know the location of any bleed valves/nipples on the rads and whether these can be accessed without taking main bonnet off?

Thanks

Please bear in mind i have a Cerbera, it is a sp6 though, when i took my radiator out there was a bleed screw on the top right of the radiator, that is looking at it as if you are stood at the front of the car, it is a bolt which i think req's a 17mm spanner, but check all high points in the cooling system for air, don't know how accessible this bolt is on a Tuscan i'm afraid.

On mine it is, from memory, about 6" back from the rad on the left hand side as looking from the front. Can't remember the valving but it's on the top hose into the rad.
Main bonnet off job I'm afraid.
