I have a 2001 Brava 1.2 80sx and it has the slooshing sound of water heard from behind the dash so i imagine an airlock in the system.
The car runs fine, heats up to normal and plenty of hot air from the heater. There is no oily gunk in the coolant and no mayo in the oil filler cap so all seems fine there.

I have noticed a bleed screw on the left hand side of the radiator (when facing car) and one on each of the hoses going into the heater matrix. One is on the hose while the other sits higher up.

So the question is how do you successfully bleed the system, from cold, whilst hot, with engine on or not, what bleed screws do you close first.

Thanks in advance for any help.
