i think the hbv is the cause of my water leak seams a simple enough job to do
but i need to know do i re fill the collant via the expansion tank,how much anti freeze to use & how do i make sure there are no air locks after topping up?

Simple job? - get plenty of plasters in 

Refill coolant via "expansion tank", 5 lits red antifreeze for 50:50 mix, run engine with heater on full heat and burp hoses until no more air coming out
