recently changed the radiator in my ST205, and got a little air lock, are the cars bad for this , is there an easy way to get it out??, i know in skylines/300zx etc you just remove the rad cap and let it tick over for a while, any methods like this or any tips? cheers in advance again

should just be a case of cap off and let it idle for a while.

never normally any probs with bleeding the cooling system

try also making sure the heater is on hot and full fan. As peter said leave cap off and idle until it has cycled fan on & off say 4-5 times, adding coolant each time the level drops.

heaters are still roastin.. good tip tho, will do this tomorrow, cheers

Just make sure your expansion bottle is filled as this will draw air back into the system when the engine cools. Dorris

all sorted... once again cheers for the knowledge guys... this code 42 is still puzzling me tho big time, seems i dont have a de-limiter, took the plug of the speed sensor and gave it a clean, reset ecu, speedo still aint workin !!, donno what to do next

Next step is to start tracing power & signals with a multimeter and the wiring diagrams linked earlier.

Air lock in the system? First one I've ever heard of! The system is very straighforward on the GT4, no fiddling about with bleed points...

What was the problem?
