MG MGF Technical - Coolant top up (help!)

I have recently topped up the coolant level with (I believe) a correct mix , however, I am now concerned I have far exceeded how much I needed. Being a complete novice, I filled the tank to nearly the top, yet i now learn there is a max marker half way down!
What cld the possible problems of this be ?? v concerned.
Daniel

It is an expansion reservoir, just take some out to thr correct level, as you have said, halfway.

Thanks, sorry to be a complete junior but how do I get the coolant out of this reservoir tank??.....definitely not equipted enough to bleed it ! (having read those instructions)
DJ Brown

No need to mess with bleed screws, just suck it out with a washing up liquid bottle and a small piece of tube. Any improvised sucking device will do.

Or bolt off the both fixture screws right and left. Splash out the overfilled coolant and bolt back the header tank.

Or a large turkey baster has a good sucking action on it (if you have one handy)
