Drain the old water from bottom rad hose and add the new water with anti freeze.. Or take it to kwik fit and pay them about £80

I let mine get hot so the thermostat opens, remove the lower rad hose adn flush the system with a hose pipe. I also fully flush the radiator out.

Add the correct mix of anti-freeze/water mix and leave the expansion cap off and allow the car to get to operating temp, when close, put cap on and let the cooling fan kick in 2 times. Then check level and adjust as required.
