yes that is the aircon! Best way to bleed the coolant system is to take the cap off the tank then leave the engine ticking over till the coolant in the tank bubbles and the fan kicks in. Then fill it up to the warm mark and do it again.Squeezing the top hose aswell will push the air out.

Dime bar. There is a brass bleed screw in the thermostat housing and one on the heater hose where it goes through the bulkhead.

The one on the hose was fine, where is the thermostat one located?

I think I may actually have a faulty thermostat now as the temp fluctuates randomly, last night I took it for a 30 mile drive, this morning I did 10 on the way to work & it started acting up a bit.

This is the thermostat housing. The copper coloured screw is at the front of it.

Where the top radiator hose goes into the thermostat housing.
