Just finished installing a new water pump and getting everything back
together.  My Haynes manual says to full the radiator up to the top, also
fill the expansion bottle up to the top.  Then let the car run at about
1000rpm.  Then if the expansion bottle drops below half, refill....

This doesn't make sense.  Why would I want the expansion bottle to be full?
