over filled coolant.

[yorkie_chris]

The fairly fool proof way I use to check the expansion tank level is to remove the hose and point it up. The level of fluid in the hose is the same as the level in the bottle, lower the hose and when it starts to drip then there be the level in the tank.

I don't believe it's critical, so long as there is space there for the expanding coolant to fill, otherwise there'll be leakage, and so long as there is coolant there to refill the rad when it cools down.

When changing the coolant I run it for a few seconds after filling it and top up by the radiator cap to rid the system of air.

Do you mean the bolt that secures the front seat down, its a M8 and requires a 6mm allen key to remove it.
