whats the purpose of the coolant reservoir? mine is cracked and below the minimum, is that a problem?

its an "over flow"... almost everyones is cracked! ITS OK.... just tape it or junkyard search it... just keep it like 1/2 or less full.

also when bleeding the system, do you put the heater on high AND turn the heater on? with the rad cap off?

At the end of your upper radiator hose with your radiator.
Please don't end sentences with "at," please?

do you really own a 240 ?
