A pressurised expansion tank is a better solution, Rover 25 tank is a popular choice (NB Rover 25 not 45) the top outlet on the tank connects to a
high point on the engine or radiator and the bottom connection goes to a low point on the engine or bottom hose or radiator.
Also drill a single 2mm or 2.5mm hole in the thermostat valve plate, it helps prevent air locks and makes the thermostat respond faster.
