ever since I got it, its used water, and its gradually got worse, also, with the rad cap on it pressures up, and its now started going to 95c, and the heaters go cold, it did this last time when the thermostat died, so I put a new one in and it sorted it, but I have to top the rad up every 2-3 days with a kettle full of water..

Parts cost though, anyway..
Removed thermostat and put the rad cap back on, and it runs fine now, no pressure or high temp, put the 5 week old thermostat in some boiling water and it did nothing! so looks like new thermostat is needed.
