        Sorry if I am being a bit thick but do you need to go to all of the trouble of bleeding the system often?

        Just changed my rad and used the half pop bottle method to burp the system.

        Have I done half a job?


        regards

          Not at all. Removing airlocks is something that needs rarely doing, mainly when
          the coolant system has been drained and refilled, or if a sizable amount of the
          coolant has been replaced. It is merely one of those extra little gizmo's for
          certain people, , whom tend to arse about with their cooling systems a
          tad more than normal.

            Thanks Matt.

            There was me thinking I could have started to make and sell the things on Ebay.

            Cheers

              Rotten sod. I ended up making a MKII version because of that comment. I
              tried to resist, I really did, but couldn't settle until I'd made one. So, here
              are the pics of the bleed adaptor MKII. It still has the specific air bleed only
              fitting, and I've added a hose feedback now as well for the full blown job.

                  It does look great, but why? The heater valve is 3" from where these valves are fitted and the same height.

                  Just pull the hose off the valve slighty while its running to let the air escape. I always fill them from the heater valve hose till it comes out the rad cap hole, put the cap on, keep filling to it backs up out the valve itself and plonk the hose on.

                  But your obviously having fun...................
