This keeps popping up, so I thought I'd put it in here, so there's no excuses for asking this again.
I always check the level a couple of times over the next few days just to make sure all is OK. Haven't had to top it up again yet.
Set heater control to max hot and remove the bleed screw on the thermostat housing. Fill radiator until water starts to run out of the bleed screw. Replace the bleed screw and fill up the radiator and reservoir tank to the max line. Now you need to modify the rad cap by putting a piece of wire or similar between the rubber and the metal centre bit.(it lets the air bleed out into the overflow tank) Fit it to the radiator. Start the engine warm it up and run it a 2500rpm for 10secs, turn off, fill up the radiator. Repeat 3 times.
Remove wire from rad cap and refit it as standard item. Run engine at 4000rpm and move heater control to a few positions between hot and cold , then check level again. (rad will be pressurised this time, so let it cool down or cover the rad cap well)
