Just fill her up whilst squeezing repeatedly the lower rad pipe, easier if you have a child/mate/partner to pour into the expansion tank for you. Just keep doing this until she is full and all air bubbles are gone. You will know when they are gone as the pipe will feel more 'solid' and less like its sucking though air and water. Its difficult to explain but If you do it it will all make sense.
