Sheep,
You may have had an air lock in the system that needs "burping" out.
Under the coolant (and oil) filler cap there is a black plastic cover - remove it and you will see a chrome D shaped toggle which needs to be lifted into its verticle (open) position. Fill the coolent bottle to the max mark, replace the coolant cap and drive the car for at least 2 or 3 heat cycles. You can drive for a couple of days with the D ring bleeder open - just keep checking the coolant level and top up as required. The expansion / contraction should free the system of air bubbles.....
Put D ring bleeder back into closed position when fluid level consolidates.
