Is there any need to bleed the cooling system on a Series 3, or do I simply pour the coolant in.

The manual isn't clear on this.

Thanks for any replies.

It sometimes takes a couple of goes to get the heater working properly but it seems to sort itself out after a couple of drives on mine. I just fill through the rad, occassionally squeezing the top hose until full. The just keep topping up the expansion bottle.
