got a t25

That's the top-up tank, it receives excess coolant when the system goes above a certain pressure and then allows it to syphon back as the system cools topping the header tank up.

Perhaps the thermostat hasn't opened allowing flow to the rad ?

It did me anyway, follow it and you'll have no probs... 99.9% sure it won't a dodgy stat as they fail open on diesels.
But maybe you haven't got the engine hot enough for it to want to open. If its a aaz it should get up to temp pretty quick

Good luck!

^^^^ I disagree, my stat failed in that it was only half opening. (Tested in boiling water)

So it didn't fail shut then?

Half shut, half open depending upon your point of view!

lets call it ajar...

I always get confused. Does it mean remove the rad screw completely or just undo it a few turns? Undoing it a few turns when I bleed I see a few bubbles now and again but it's painful going. I'd assume removing it completely would loose loads of coolant when you stop revving??

i'd never remove it, just undo it a bit

i did not put
