Thnx folks for replying , today i stripped the boot out and found the middle hose had white residue all over the top of the hose , so i took it off checked for splits and put a new clamp on both ends re-filled the system just with distilled water and left the air bleed clip in the upright position.

I then connected it to my laptop and ran the software i have to check the temp etc etc , it was running at mid 80's the inlet temp was 30 , after a while it crept to 91 and the fans both sides kicked in.

I left it run a while more and then shut her off and underneath i had a few small drips certainly not the dump i had before and again the drips were cold water , so i now await my new cap and then i will redo all the tests again.

The fluid level was at the max and after running for a while with the cap off i was checking for bubbling etc as soon as i put the cap on the level rose out of sight after cooling after switch off it returned to the max mark.
