       It's probably the thermostat.  Put in a new 180 degree one and see the 
difference.  I just went through this with my own van !  Bleeding is simple.  
Have someone keep the motor at 3000 rpm, open the rad bleed screw until only 
coolant is coming out, close the bleed screw and that's it that's all.
