fill the header tank  right up and try to raise the front of the car and run it with the cap OFF up to temp and keep it toped up, rev it up a few times and wait for the thermostat to open fully all the air should come out that way but I understand it can be a long job especially on the 24 v.
When its all done adjust the level of the header tank to correct level and refit the cap.

Some  cars  have  a  bleed  valve/opening  in the  highest  cooling  hose which is  opened  when  re-filling the  cooling system,  all the air escapes  and when the system is full  of water   the valve can be closed.
