So, firstly thanks for that and secondly, one pipe from the rad to the thermostat(cold return). one from top (don't have reversed manfold) to the rad(hot) with a t piece to have thermo for the relay to fans. then because i dont have a heater matrix from the manifold at the back a pipe to the header tank and then the other which goes to the thermo bottom hose also to the header tank. Right? also the overflow pipe what doea that run to filler tank?? i thought youd fill it from the header tank??

As you're not using a matrix, just take the one from the bottom of the header to the 'stat housing
