Hi, yes i know... should have done this months ago :wall:... car was completely froze this morn, and overheated on way to work!!! Need to put some antifreeze in but is it essential that i bleed the system? Can i just pour some in for now until i can do it properly???

If your adding anti-freeze then yes you need to bleed the system.

lol you better hope not mate, if the ice expands and cracks your engine block it will not be pretty

tbh id just whack some in and then take the car for a drive to get it going round the system.

gotta be better than nothing
