That O-ring has been mentioned in dispatches as being wrong size and / or poor quality.

whilst doing that I was running the car up to temp and continuing the burping... discovered that despite closing off the radiator valve it was still somehow open!
Opened it up to discover that the brand new radiators valve o-ring to have broken already.. replaced it and it now works which is nice, I was a bit worried that it could have been a thread stripping or something.
Next time will be further interior tidying, conduit completion underneath and more burping.
