vn series one coolant question

[taskmaster]

kk im pretty sure i know this but just checking cause im a noooooooooob


just swapped out a vrs gasket set (or rather drunk half a carton watching my mate do it cause he was bored stupid and rocked up as i was starting and he knows more than me ) and now im left for the easy stuff, refill , change filters etc but being series one i dont have a radiator cap now i think i just fill thru my resovar tank as its pressurised but not sure

also xcuse spelling not quite thinking abouit what i type atm

To fill the system:

1) reconnect all hoses, EXCEPT top hose into radiator
2) fill with water/coolant via that hose, holding it up
3) when the water level reaches the end of the hose, drop it and refit quickly
4) refill pressurised tank
5) enjoy

There's a trick to bleeding the Series 1 systems, but I think someone else can fill that gap

There is no bleeder on the series one as in other models. If there is any air in the system, it will eventually make it's way to the reservoir anyway. Refill it, run it until it is warm then check the level. Drive it for a couple of days and check the level again. No trick to it really.

Ahh kay, so they bleed themselves. I knew there wasn't a bleeder valve, but I thought there may have been a trick
