check the rad hoses, to see if any are blocked or split, and how nis there water in the manifold?

[shaneio]

water is coming out between the middle of the manifoldall pipes are free its all coming round ok.i think head is cracked big time.

Thats pretty mad, most likely that the head is cracked as you say mate. As the rad was changed recently they probably didnt use any coolant and its fucked the engine over. Theres no way water should come out anywhere near there if the engines in good order
