hi guys ive recently completed my m52 conversion but seem to be having problems getting heat through the heaters im pretty sure there is no air in the system but it just doesnt seem to be circulating propley it doesnt over heat an if you leave the heaters off for a moment then turn them on its warm but go's cold straight away do you think my hoses could be on wrong somehow
