bled it ran hot water through it and put antifreeze in ..and bit of water
Sounds like you have an airlock then, squeeze the top and bottom hose from the rad,(with the cap off) and the level should go down. If you got all of the old coolant out, then it should hold more than 2lts
Hope that helps,

glad you've got it sorted! I ended up parking mine nose up on the drive to sort my air-lock out, I'd keep an eye on it for a few days just to see if any more air-locks come out and to top up accordingly.
