Just a quickie: the cooling system on my ZX has no expansion tank - water is filled directly into the radiator.
So how should I bleed it after changing coolant?? Will I need to use a header tank on the radiator as I would if it had an expansion tank?
(The radiator cap is on the offside and the coolant level can been seen in a clear plastic tank which runs down the side of the radiator)

When I did our 1.9 D (94) I was expecting trouble and thought I would start by simply sticking the neck of the 5 litre anti freeze container in the hole (really to see if I could seal it easily)
I found to my surprise that there wasn't much leakage and I was able to bleed the thing by squeezing the container.
This is an ordinary container like a 5 litre oil tcontainer with the same sized neck.
If you are adding antifreeze do it first then you won't spillit everywhere.
