On the 1.8 (mine is a turbo) there is a bleed screw on the top of the coolant rail at the passenger (left seat) side of the block about half way (memory) before it goes around the back. This is the safest and surest method.

It is possible to do it through the top hose by releasing the clip slowly and carefully and allowing hot coolant to dribble out. Finally you can run the engine with the pressure cap off, and you will see bubbles coming out of the small vent or flow port in the side of the expansion bottle filler neck, which should be just submerged under an overfull coolant level. You can facilitate this by gently squeezing or massaging hoses. This is messy and needs repeating a few times, and be warned the engine will eventually boil over at which point you switch off fairly quickly and then once settled start again; in other words try and catch it before this happens and switch off. Better to do it around a lunch break and several cups of tea on a relaxed Saturday, and do in three or four sessions. You must wear gloves, keep your face away from the loose hose clip or open neck, wear glasses and be careful. The coolant is VERY HOT.

At that age, I would suspect water pump not pumping water round the system - but just as likely is the dwindling health and efficiency of the radiator, which would have the same effect. Check both out.
