The bleed valve is on the engine towards the front of the car, passneger side. The bleed nipple faces upwards so you can't miss it.

when the dealer fitted a new rad to mine it had airlocks and a cold heater despit the fact that they surely would have tested it.

Also , ( with care ) , have the cap off and give the top and bottom hoses a squeeze , be careful though.

I've circled the bleed valve in the pic - unscrew it until you get a steady stream of coolant.
