Indeedy,
Thats what I ended up doing, seemed to do the job though.
Bled, flushed and refilled, opening the top hose to blead the air out.
Job done, cheers

Isn't there a bleed plug on the back of the passenger side of the rad?
With an O-ring, sometimes leaks with age. Mind you, top hose is probably
just as easy.

On a 1.8 there is also a water bleed plug high up somewhere on the
passenger side of the engine near the diesel filter. Mechanic used it on
mine, otherwise I'd never have known it was there.
