what you have here is a air lock in the rad system so all i can say is run the car up to temp with the header tank cap removed turn the interior heater on full and have the interior heater set at screen and just run up to temp squeeze the water pipes every few mins which will help water flow keep a eye on the water too and top up as and when required
