Default Bleeding a S2 Rad System....How Difficult?

Can't seem to get it to bleed properly, had the heaters on full on hot and the cap off for a while still won't clear the air? should i remove the top skinny hose from the top of the thermostat housing to the top of the header tank and see if and air pops out? thanks

Yes and check the temp in all the hoses is the same also give the hoses a squeeze and see if anymore bubbles come out that way, just replaced my own Rad this morning and it was quite a pain in the arse mate.
Good luck - DaveN
