One of the last ( I hope ) jobs to do, is to drain the radiator fill with clean water and anti-freeze .I seem to remember there is a way to bleed the system once refilled. 
I have already asked but is it possible to add a video ,onto  post . Len

I don't know of a video Len but there is a really good description in the "How To" section.
Very clear and precise.
Good luck!

Yes, it's important to bleed from the 3 places as described. It may be worth printing out the pages from the How To so you have them with you in the workshop

My advice would be to open and leave open all the bleed points when filling, then when coolant comes out of each one in turn close that particular point and so on until all are done. Then start the motor and check the points again individually until there are no air bubbles. Good luck.

Yep..good advice..the header tank (coolant vessel) isn't much higher than the bleed points and if they are just cracked open it will only dribble out.
