[MR2] MKI filling coolant

[Marc Medina]

Felix,
You can also do it the easy way - jack up the back of the car as high as possible (so that the filler neck becomes the highest point in the system), then fill the cooling system. You can squeeze the hoses some to work out the bubbles. I've done this twice now and it seems to work just fine.

(Sigh) Okey dokey, word taken.

Is this because the MR2 hoses run underneath the car and have low
points, and a "normal" front engine car doesn't have these
problems?
