Thanks for all the advice folks the beasty is alive and kicking for now
Turned out to be dodgey dizzy cap. As for the coolant pressure i took the top hose of the rad which goes in to the top of engine. There was no water in there unlike last time i took it off water ****ed out. So could this be the thermostat. Thanks all

Well I'm wondering if the threads gone as bottom bolt I could undo with me hands. Done the bolt up for the time being til I get new gasket so will see if it comes loose again. If so can it be rethreaded
