had similar issue with mine mate turned out to be the header tank cap was fooked. £3 for a new cap and problem solved and this was after I stripped the entire cooling system thinking there was a blockage somewhere and fitting new stats and pump ect.
The faulty cap was not allowing the system to pressurise
