Thermostat to top of rad
Pump to bottom of rad
Header tank output teed into bottom rad hose
bleed from top of rad teed into any other bleeds from thermostat housing for instance, then connected to top of header tank
small connection on pump to heater, then from heater to inlet manifold, or if no heater, straight from pump to inl man

having now got mine working great - after a lot of trouble......
t/stat housing to top of polo rad
bottom of plo rad to pump
bottom of header tank to pump
rad overflow to top of header tank
i have no other connection on my t/stat housing and have blanked the manifold take off as i have no heater.
Also (and i think most importantly) my t/stat housing pointed up at 45 degrees, i cut&shut it using lumiweld so now it comes out horizontally.
also built a simple ally duct on the back of the rad to mount the fan so that it sucks across the whole thing.
rarely goes above 90 now even when hammered
