Hi aiden33,

Nothing special except after replacement, remember to bleed system. At thermostat housing, there is an air bleed bolt, loosen it and top up coolant till it comes out from the bleeder bolt before tightening it. Top up at radiator neck and run engine and top up accordingly. Close radiator cap and run till fans comes on. Rechekc coolant level when cold and top up if necessary.

Remember to check recovery tank level.
