How do I bleed air from the engine? There are 2 bleed valves, but the car overheats and I'm told I have air in the system. The reservior is full but it seems that the engine won't pull it back into the engine.

run vehicle till its hot and open up the bleeder at the highest part on the cooling system and keep up the level till it purges out. then the air should be gone. alternatively you can jack up the front end of car and do this making the resevoir the highest part of the system.
