there are several ways you can make sure if you have a air block or somthing.

i know you say you have done it loads times but you could possibly still have air in the system or a hose is not on propa leting air in after.

start ur car and open the valve down by the green temp sensor. if you hear a air sound you still have air in system. if water comes out stright away you have no problems. You can pick up a new temp sensor for 10quid! try this for the sake of 10quid
