Hi Pete, leave the cap off the expansion tank, run the engine at high idle (1500rpm) with the heater selected to full "hot" untill the fan kicks in then let it idle for about 10 mins this should "burp" out any airlocks, then stop the engine, refit the expansion tank cap and then let the engine idle for 10 mins to check for any leaks under pressure
