I take it that this time you have drained the cooling system fully, including loosening the cylinder block plug, and following the MGR procedure exactly.

Yep I did everything exactly as per procedure, cylinder block plug removed, bottom hose removed ,header tank raised ( I don't think I'd dare come back to you if I hadn't followed procedure)

With regard to the thermos, the top hose is very hot doesn't that suggest the thermos is opening?
