    Hi All

    I've just finished my first loop and after tightening up a couple of jubilee clips it seems watertight so far. However I need some help bleeding the loop. I'm using the XSPC reservoir top for Laing D5 with a D5 vario installed. It is very noisy so far. The pump does not seem to be vibrating so I think it is turbulence caused by air in the loop - its mainly a grinding sort of noise. I've tried rocking the case to free bubbles but it does not seem to have done much. Reports I have read on this combination of pump and res top suggest it should be very quiet.

    Has anyone any experience with this reservoir who can suggest a good way of bleeding it. My radiator has a bleed screw but when I opened this water came out the top of the reservoir! I am currently running the loop with the reservoir cap off if that is of any relevance. I also notice the inlet tube in the reservoir finishes very close to the mouth of the pump. I am keeping the reservoir topped up to about 70%.

    Thanks in advance
