If you change out the thermostat with original part and still have issues, then your issue is else where..
This all reads like airlock and bad thermostat.
mixtures cause problems

When filling the cooling system a very slow pouring time can help big time.
Maintenance manuals can give you a time flow rate etc, the engineers have worked this out all for you,
As Westy points out.
Even fill 1 ltr in a say 1 minute go away to let it settle ,come back 1-2min later and repeat.
sometime air lock happens just filling system up, "slow and steady wins the race", they say.
Humm, Just a thought,
Is it possible the interior heater could be blocked and causing issues with the bleed process?.
Was talking with a self employed rad specialist yrs ago, a mates neighbour.
between us blokes over the fence,
Fortron was his recommended flushing product.
It's not caustic, a nice and friendly product, can leave in a week, even whilst driving.
I did what he said, no problem accured.
But you guessed it, cant seem to find it any more.
