mick, i would sort out the overheating problem first mate, you dont want to spend out on wishbones etc if there is a cooling problem just in case its more serious than an airlock ;)

There isnt an overflow, its a sealed system.

If your talking about the small pipe on the header tank, its should connect via a rubber tube to the rad.

Wishbones - sutton auto factors....just dont buy there drop links as thye are shiter than Nottingham Forest playing at home against Derby County!
