I got it back on the road today, runs as good as ever, so far so good. Runs much cooler than before with the low tstat, and I believe I have most of the air purged out of the system. In the old coolant I would see some occasional bits floating in the tank but it’s much cleaner now. May your luck be better than mine, but don’t worry, water pump and thermostat isn’t anything to be afraid of if it comes down to it.

I've done 2 tstats now actually. The first was an ln engineering, it failed after less than 2 years smh. Now I have a BW and it's holding up but only 1 year old.
For purging the air, I drive around for a week or so with the purge valve opened. Seems to work well and I don't fill with the complicated procedure Wayne describes or buying an airlift. Just to of after every drive until it stays full.
