Hi all,

My M10 engined 316 is not blowing very warm air through the cabin. I've just flushed radiator, refilled with correct coolant/ water mix and changed the thermostat and the engine temp is now getting up to midway point fine but heater is pi55 poor. Does that sound like an airlock?
The bleeding procedure according to Haynes is just to squeeze the top hose to expel any air. Do I just keep doing that until it sorts itself? Any other tips?

Scratch the above chaps. After more squeezing and general pleasuring of the top hose, heater is now toasty. Yay.
