If the previous car was running a full size, I would say to upgrade, or even just see if you can borrow one off someone you know that has one kicking around and see what the difference is

yeh tru ..ive spend shit loads already on the most easiest fix.
now the big mulla comes down to a full sized radiator.
prob is i dont know of any1 who can lend me a full sized rad or even a half size rad KOYO or similar (better quality than the one i have) and test trial it.
If you want to make sure it's not a headgasket, get the car to operating temp, take out all the spark plugs & stick a screwdriver in each cylinder one at a time and after you have removed it, see if there is any condensation on the screwdriver. If you get condensation on the screwdriver after a particular cylinder, that is the cylinder where the headgasket is not sealing correctly. If nothing shows, try cranking the engine over with no plugs in and see if any coolant shoots up and out.
Otherwise carry out a TK head check on the cooling system to see if you are getting any combustion gases into the cooling system

man ..i think ill get the BYP boyz to this this or similar checks, i dont want to fcuk the engine up which would result to being my fault.
pretty much with the tk head tester you get the thing and you pour the dy in it, start car and remove the radiator cap, run and put the tester over where the cap should be, hold down firm and if it changes colour you have a problem could be pouress head or block ect

Reason: wrong
I had the same problem in my teg . Turned out to be a commen sense fix the reservoirs tube that sucks the coolant out wasnt there. I had to figure it out my self. Might wana double check if its there
