    this makes a big difference.

    bleeding at home is easy, just make sure the heater is on full while you do it.
    Is there a valve in the heater water line, or a dampner in front of the heater core? If the D2 is the same as the D1, there is no valve in the heater line. Therefore it would make no difference whether the heater was on or off.

    DITTO.

    In any case if you are worried about breaking your header tank, just stick a coke bottle cut off in the filler to get the level above the bleed.

    But really it is just a matter of giving the back of the header a yank upwards then slip it backwards out of the retaining tags at the front and then lift it.

    No , no valve or dampner , there may be a
    Placebo
    Induced
    Suction
    Sensor. or a
    Technical
    Alternating
    Kaleidoscope
    Encoder. buried somewhere under the dash , but I'm yet to find either

    I must have been misunderstood if you are suggesting that there is a ****take under the dash, so I will ask again. Is there a valve to interrupt the flow of hot water through the heater core, or a dampner to interrupt the flow of air through the heater core?

    Air flaps x2 attached to motors for the heater core , so no it doesn't make a difference but there's no harm done if people want to turn there heater on for a placebo effect , and no harm intended if I want to take the **** ,

    No. No heater valve or restrictor on the heater hose circuit ... it's a full flow constant recirculation.

    Just to make it clear as to what Fluids said- THERE IS NO COOLANT TAP or VALVE WHATSOEVER in a D2 heater system or in most other modern Landrovers. They all use a FULL flow system for faster heat up of the passenger compartment .
    Sorry, but those of you that say otherwise should know better.
