I can see your point, Toddie. 'Casual', I guess is open to interpretation. Our 'casual' work force also comes under the banner of 'on call'. You are under contract to work when the company has the work for you, not when ever you feel like working. They are also employed to cover for the permanents, when they have training or annual leave. And those that work when ever they want, have no right to complain when they constantly knock back work, and the phone stops ringing.
Understand exactly what you are saying.
Do the unpopular rosters, work when called on if you possibly can. Then the person doing the rosters will put you at the top of their go-to list.
Do the opposite and you can fall off the list all together.
A reality in the workforce.
Both our girls worked at McDonalds and got plenty of work when others complained of no work.
What a dick I am.
Another thought I had was to check for an air lock. Got it up to temp, popped off the cap slowly and couldn't see any coolant. Filled up a bottle with water and thought a little top up may be needed. Nearly two liters later and 20 minutes of idle no air pockets. Cap back on and all good now.
I did check the overflow bottle earlier and it was more than half full, why didn't it take the coolant from there. What or where are the max-min levels.

Park uphill, and invert a coke bottle with the butt cut out into your radiator to lift your fill point, being dual fuel also crack the hose to the gas converter
air can get trapped there as well. Instead of using "TEE" joiners I recommend using "Y" joins it will stop cavitation and aid in water flow
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there

Did the coke bottle thing yesterday, good point with the gas, will keep it in mind.
I think my issue is between rad cap the overflow bottle. Maybe a pressure thing.

Yeh can see your point now Kat.
Time is never wasted when your wasted all the time

My cooling system was losing water after I replaced the head gasket and had the radiator reconditioned.
It turned out to be that the lip on the filler neck wasn't level.
When the system was hot, it forced coolant into the overflow, and sucked air back in. I had to get a piece of fine grain wet'n'dry paper and stretch it over a flat block of wood and attach it so it was also flat.
I then sanded the lip so it was level.
It took a number of times to fully bleed the air from the system too. I had to drive the car for a couple of minutes after each bleeding and then repeat the process.
Also check that the contoured cap locking flanges under the lip are not worn or slightly bent.
