Hi all, having a few probs changing coolant on my 2006 plate, i understand how to empty out system by removing bottom rad hose and flushing etc but cannot find bleed screws to remove air when refilling, i understand an old cut off bottle should be used as a header tank but i am sure there should be at least 2 bleed screws to be opened when refilling............can anyone help please

On some models only there may be a bleed screw on the heater outlet hose union on the engine compartment bulkhead and another bleed screw on the coolant housing on the end of the cylinder head (likely to be an Allen screw).
(According to Haynes - but bear in mind the 206 Haynes manual does not cover the 1.6 16v engine.)

Correct,one bleeder is on the top heater matrix hose (looks like a tyre valve cap) the other one is On the thermostat housing it is indeed an allen screw,you'll find them easier to get to if you remove the air filter assembly and intake pipe between airbox and throttle body
