    It is called AIR in the system start the engine up with a hose pipe in
    the top of the rad, that always work(well it dos when i do it )

    As Chris says, you still have air in the system. The problem is that the
    filler on the rad is lower than parts of the engine. Either use a hose as he
    says, or make up a funnel out of an old antifreeze bottle neck and use that
    stuffed into the filler to allow you to overfill to a higher level. Then
    undo the bleed caps to allow the air out.
