as you guessed i dont know much about these (well cars), is the water pump near the bottom pulley which fan is connected to
 
Makes no difference whether the water is hot or cold when you refill.
Obviously you have an air lock if there were no problems with overheating before you changed it.
Just follow the procedure on RAVE for coolant refilling.

Got a 3 day a week contract over in Galway which means I am away from Mon-Wed night. The hotel has Wi-fi which is about much use as a chocolate teapot so I just don't bother trying.
Retirement had it's advantages !!
Still open to helping you guys out though and making up for lost time when I get home.
