There should be one, is there one on the top of the rad? or next too. Follow all the visible coolant pipes around the system and look for anything that at least looks like one. The pug has two.

There is one on top of the thermostat housing 5-6mm allen key i think.

apart form that turn the heater around to hot and top the system up leave the cap off for 5 mins on tick over and it should self bleed

no need to use bleed valves for coolant,

put all your hoses back on and header tank, fill it up to the cool level, start the engine with the cap on, run it till the thermostat opens. keep an eye on the water level as it will drop, then fill it back up to the level and replace the cap to let the system pressurise, make sure you keep an eye on the level for a minute or 2

better way:

fit everything back together
run engine at fast idle with cap off and keep topping up
when hot (95 degrees) put blowers on hot in car on number 3
run at fast idle untill it starts to really bubble over at around 100 degrees from coolant bottle

and leave to cool and top up the next day (or when its totally cold) to fill level if needed
