Air in the system?

Was it bled properly following the rad change? Sounds like that's what it needs if not...

It's bound to be an airlock, unless you're losing water. did you let it idle when topping it up?

Ummm... There was a post about a 'proper' way of removing airlocks. Something to do with squeezing the air out of the top hose and re-topping-up the header.

Hope that fixes it....
