Hey all,

Well, my water pump went in no problem, and now I am hearing the gurgling that plagues any radiator work. I assume it's air trapped in the heater core.

What is the proper method for eliminating this?

Thanks again,
Chuckster

Run engine at idle with cap off expansion tank, top up as necessary. Do this with heater on and for short periods only

Try loosening the plastic plug on top of the radiator while the car is idleing until a steady flow of coolant comes out. Dont tighten too much so it doesnt snap off. Also, squeeze a hose or two (the Disco's).

Be careful, or have an EXTRA one on hand. I twisted mine Right OFF, and into two parts...had to wait a week to get another...it doesn't take much, and BE SURE TO NOT OVERTIGHTEN it when you put that little thing back...so annoying.
