I'm having trouble bleeding the radiator on my c20let corsa.

It keeps overheating to 100deg if I drive it(even with fan on fulltime) and I cannot get it to bleed.

Is there any best ways to do it?

I dont have hot air from the heaters either and guessing this due to the airlock somewhere?

I've tried running it with the expansion cap off until it gets hot but it just pisses all over the bay and does nothing else

I think I have figured out why...

I have the both sides of the water rail going to the matrix and right side of the head going to the header tank
