MG MGF Technical - Bleeding the Cooling System

Hi All,
I wonder if anyone can describe to me where the 3rd bleed point is for the cooling system. I have just replaced the coolant pipes with Mike's Alloy ones, fitted a new radiator, Oil Filter, oil, Plugs and coolant.
I found the two under the bonnet and they seem fine, but the workshop manual says if you don't get heat coming through, use the third in the engine bay.
I must be blind, 'cos I've had the diagrams upside down and inside out, and I can't see it for looking.
Any help greatly appreciated

Cheers

Thanks guy's.
I found it, bled it and took it for a test drive - Very nervous experience.
All seems to be well. I'm just waiting for it to cool down and check all the levels again.
I was worried because there was a little heat to begin with, but then just cold air.
As soon as I got out on the road the heat kicked in and it's been fine since.
I feel really proud I did all this stuff on my own. Fingers crossed, it'll be ok, and I'll have an 'F' on the road again for the first time since October....
Means I'll be spending more time back here again too..

Cheers

Well done Kieren, so we may see you at the next Luton meet also?

Well Dave,
I got made redundant last week, so I should have plenty of time on my hands - Just let me know when it is. I take it it's still the bell in Toddington?

>>I got made redundant last week

Really sorry to hear that Kieren. We'll definitely have to fix a date for a Luton meet soon - give you a chance to get out with the car.

>>I take it it's still the bell in Toddington?

No reason why not - it's so handy for the motorway for the folks that come from further afield.

Note to self - choose a date and start a new thread.

>>so I should have plenty of time on my hands

Come along to Silverstone on Tues 18th March. It's a track day organised by the MGCC, so dedicated to MGs - plenty of people from this BBS. Bring a helmet and grab some passenger laps.

Thanks Dave. I might just do that. I've never been to an MG track day.
What a brilliant morning. I Think, I'm going to get her out of the garage, get the rooof down and go cheer myself up i bit.

Kieran, I've been redundant twice (so far) and not looking too safe at present.

However it really is nice today and I'm definitely going to put the roof down for the trip into work - don't start until 10:00 so time for the hood and rear screen to dry off a bit first. Just turned the car round to get the sun on the back for a while.

Yes, today is the day to get out - must find an excuse. I've also been made redundant twice and now work at home with my own business. I'm only making 20% of my previous salary at the moment, but at least I can decide to go out for a drive if I want to :-)

Yep luvly day:-)

Dont know about roof down but I have just been 'on the roof' - our new offices in Mayfair are on the top floor with grand views across the area and a stair to the 'roof garden' - not as good as being out and about topless in the *F* but if you have to be at work....

Well, this is the first time i've had the 'Chop', and we're 5 weeks away from our second baby, so it stings a bit.
Two of us are setting up on our own, and going to take on the world, so who knows..."This time next year Rodney......."
Anyway, no more time to chat, it's off for a drive.
Thanks for all the help guy's - just hope i get more than 100 miles with noe HGF.

Cheers
