Sorry wife's been flogging me all day with those 'just' jobs. Will have. Look after work tomorrow and get back to you

Okay. Hope this makes sense;
From the thermostat, thick pipe to the top of the rad. Thin pipe to a T piece that goes into the expansion bottle.
From the water pump, thick pipe to bottom of rad. Thinner pipe to bottom of expansion tank.
Then thin pipe from top of rad to other side of T piece into expansion tank.
Sorry for the delay in answering.
Let me know how you get on
