heating solved :)

remember when my car got fixed but after a few test drives the fan wouldnt seem to kick in?.
well im hoping to get it mot'd next month so today i thought id have a go at bleeding the system properly.I had a nosey at the guide for the hgt,but on my rad i only 1 bleed screw on the left..
Anyway,got it running,and left it running for ages and the pipes were really hot but i couldnt see what temp it was as my clocks not workin (hoping its a fuse or just my duff battery),i bled all 3 points (rad,1 on the head and the rear pipe)and water came out and so did a bit of air (ended up with crap in my eyes lol).After a while the fans finally came on so left it running still for a good while and it kept kicking in..so jobs a good 'un,no need for a new thermo or puttin a switch on my rad.
Ready for its mot now

thanks 'anon' lol

and will: i know,cant believe it was sept i got it sorted, times flown by lol.
i just left it knowing it was running but had a 'fan' issue,but like i say time has flown by and now the time is getting on so hoping to get it on road soon,hence me sortin the system out.

Only thing im baffled at is my clocks aint working,i.e dials/needles.All electrics work tho,lights,wipers..When i test drove it,i used a battery charger and everythin lit up,whereas now,i just jump started it.Hoping it is just down to my duffed battery.
