IS there a pressure release valve for the releasing of the excess air from the coolant pipes? I changed the Thermostat and now the engine service light is on, and also there is a bit of shacking on the engine. It is heating very slowly and there is coolant in the reservoir.

to bleed the coolant system off air the easiest way is to put the front end up on ramps and remove the radiator cap and start the car up and allow it to warm, next slowly add fluid untill it is full and no more bubbles appear. good luck
