In my years as a mechanic I've done more than my fair share of Rover head gaskets and changed the stat and put two small holes in them to allow the water to flow easier and stop airlocks everytime I did one,this may help.

the rad is lower than the pump, i don't seem to have any air in it. unfortuatelt the rad is of unknown origin, i bought it at stoneleight last year, as it was the exact size i needed and it was only a tenner. it doesn't have a bleed screw.
the stat has a small steel ball fitted loosely in a hole at the top of the stat, i'm guessing it's air bleed device, but it wouldn't be difficult to pull the stat out and drill it, might try that, thanks.
