The bleed nipple for the rad is located on the pax side of the rad. It's easily got to if you remove the pax light. There is probably another bleed point somewhere else.

And two bleed valves on the coolant pipes in the engine bay (between left-rear corner of engine and the boot)

Make sure you do it up nice and tight. It's the most likely to weep. Although doing it up too tight may make it weep too. Good luck.
