Thanks for that, I'll have a look
Now that you mention pressure, I do remember opening the bonnet/hood after the engine was warmed up and hearing a slight hissing sound. Now that I think about it, probably comming from the radiator cap.

Then you just hook everything up, pump the system up to a certain pressure (~5psi over high for the system) and watch to see if the pressure holds or if you've got a purdy green shower. I can't remember what the average pressure for our system is at the moment.
