It lives!!!
Engine sounded as bad as a 6' when starting but once the oil got moving about she sounds as good as she did before...mm
Having some trouble bleeding it I think as the bottom pipe stays quite cool and the engine is taking some time getting up to temperature on the gauge/interior fans although it's only water in there at the moment anyway so will need draining back out anyway.
Also should I be getting a small amount of white smoke out the back? Quick google suggests that the cat/exhaust could be wet and just needs drying off with a quick motorway blast but want the coolant system sorted first before I damage the new gasket
