Dealing with trapped air - the lazy man's approach.

Easiest way though you needed to make sure EVERYTHING is clamped tight. (doubly sure this could cause a leak)

Constrict the tubing (i.e. squeeze it) for a few seconds were it leaves the radiator, and release. If there is air trapped you will hear gugglings and air bubbles should come shooting out.

Repeat.

There is physics behind that but its 4:42am and I'm tired so you'll just have to believe me. Slowely but surely you should start to collect any trapped air in your res - which you will then top up.
