Thanks Andy! Much appreciated

Had the water pump off to be sure theres nothing wrong there, all is good, whilst at it ive found a bleed screw on the radiator, so at least i know my radiator is full, however i have still not been able to bleed the system fully, So the next thing is to buy a Vacuum refill kit so i can make sure there no air in the system as i fill it up.... really cant believe all the trouble im having!!!

ok so done more fumbling around and come to the conclusion that my head is completely drained, did so by partially removing the thermostat housing from the 4 long bolts to the head and not a drop, so this leads me to thinking its the water pump what has gone, so underneath is a pic of the pipe that leads from the pump to the thermostat housing, should coolant flow in the direction as arrowed?

Could be a coolant leak or slight leak from the exhaust which seals as it gets hot?

For sale is my mk3 Vauxhall cavalier GLS. 2L automatic petrol. The car is fantastic, it’s out of MOT but will be good to a new home. It’s been in the family for 25 years and well maintained and serviced. Car has some signs of wear and tear which is expected for its age of 29 years. It drives spot on with plenty of power in the engine. Easily pulls away faster than other cars without trying! Gearbox is good as well. 4 speed automatic. Looking for £1000 but open to offers. V5, 2 keys and has fuel in it.
