How do I use Radweld in my Peugeot HDI?

I'm absolutely hopeless on these matters but I've got a leak somewhere in my radiator. I'm having to top up the coolant every few days. I bought some Radweld, but to me the directions aren't clear as to the quantity you put in (it's 250ml bottle). I take it I add the whole bottle? I'm also assuming it's ok to use with my 2006 Peugeot HDI? I would really appreciate any help. I know Radweld is only a temporary measure and I be will getting it checked out properly at the end of the month, when I get paid.

Yes you should put all 250ml into the cooling system, then start the engine and either drive the car or let the engine run for at least 30 mins so that the Radweld has completely gone round the system. You will need to get the cooling system pressure checked - a local garage should be able to do that for you at low cost.
