ok i have ordered a new thermostat from brickwerks. hopefully that will come for the weekend!

when im bleeding the system with the thermostat installed im assuming i bleed the engine from the thermostat housing until the thermostat opens at which point coolant will start flowing past it to make its way to the rad and then i start bleeding the rad?
