Default Coolant bleed screw

Hey I want to change the radiator hoses and coolant and was wondering where I can locate the air bleed screw?

Cheers

P.S: Waiting for the manual to arrive so I don't have to ask silly questions :P

As long as the thermostat has a bleed hole in it you don't need to worry. Just fill her up - start her up - and let it run for ten minutes with the radiator cap loose. If the coolant level drops below the plate top it up. On your first drive, after ten minutes check the level again to be sure to be sure .
