Sounds like head gasket

Have you checked the Radiator cap isn't knackered?

 

Air in the top pipe may suggest no return ? OEM thermostats failed closed FWIW.

 

hi thanks i just foned midland subaru they said headgasket to...have been told it could be thermostat aswell what other symptons would i get with headgasket?? just dont want to take it there an be charged for a headgasket when its just thermostat....thanks

 

Seeing as your system is compromised anyway, why not remove the thermostat (mounted @ the bottom rad hose), place in boiling water, if it opens is aint the thermostat then you have to refill the system obviously, bit of a bugger but worth investigating.
