rad could possibly be blocked but when the return pipe is squashed together and the bleed valve is opened there is still a flow from there so the inlet into the bottom of the rad is reaching the top, but still not ruled it out
oil is clear and no contamination as is the coolant and no oil contamination into that , cant rule out leakage from the system staright into bores but the signs are not there, i.e. excessive smoke from exhaust or an acrid smell from the coolant
fitted new cap , agian and used leads which i know are 100% good still

so suggestion is a new water pump , thermostat and also see what dave and kayleigh say
also needs 2 TRE`s but they can be done any time and the side fans need a new engine temp switch.....all in all its not a bad car

tried my best as well
Good effort!

Maybe we should have a local fix it day for Dave to pay us a visit? Need a full service on panther... might have the belts done too.
