Thanks for the help guys, I ended up just replacing the whole oil pan, I didnt find it that difficult and i found a used one cheap off a Ford Escape. It’s as dry as a bone down there now 🙂

new tstat in and shes running like a dream 🙂 thanks again

I did just that, jacked up the front where the tank is, took off the cap and tried purging again. No dice. Im almost convinced its the tstat considering more coolant came into the tank after it warmed up

will do, thanks everyone. in the unlikely event its not the radiator, where should i move onto next?

Just bled the cooling system. Fan didnt turn on but it was at the normal temperature all fine and good. It normally turns on if it starts to creep up past normal anyway.
I did notice a bunch of black stuff in the coolant. I also noticed a little bit of coolant coming out of the radiator on the left. So I think my assumption was correct.
