So while doing the cooler seals I forgot drain the coolant. I remembered just after removing the turbo. Now when I remembered, I opened the radiotor blead screw and coolant came out. I then extracted alot of the coolant from the resvoir and carried on. What should I do now? Ive finished the cooler seals.
 
Rooky mistake!!!! I was meant to turn the radiotor plug 180 degrees. I have done that now and drained the coolant. Can I just go ahead and refill without any issue?
 
I would go back and check it all over again. So, if you not assembled back again, I would:

open the coolant bleed knob and let it drain
remove oil cooler, this will allow extra coolant to flow out
clean oil cooler location.
once all the coolant is out, close the cooland bleed knot and continue withthe oil cooler assemble process
