The part about spigots and bottom to bottom,   

sorry just acting my age nearing the twilight bit, 
the hose going through the bulkhead at the top is warm to hot but,  the one below it is cool to cooler
had a fiddle around and the small hoses seem to be sort of just hanging, cannot remember them being like that
mmmm

Hi again      changed the thermostat at a part cost of £14.99, didnt take 10-15 mins though, more like all morning, one of the bolt heads was worn and took patience to get it out, anyway job done but still very little or no heat from heater.
Air and directions are as they should be but justy no heat even on Hi !!!     any ideas would be really helpful as the frosty mornings are here again

  10- 15 minutes sounds doable for me then,  anything to pull out or rip away and would a factored  part be ok?

cheers for your help, dont feel sad anymore

  yeah could be eh?  the garage didnt change the thermo or the pump
they charged £500 .
the motorway temp stays constant now at just under half way on dash and the air that comes from the heater is just under or around cool
Is it easy enough to change the thermo on a 2.2 petrol ?

    hey the jobs done, yes they were easy enough to come out with one being snapped in two places, (top and bottom) and the other snapped on the bottom only and I did'nt even notice until I started to hear a rattle and it turned out to be the top part of one spring trapped inside itself.
New shocks, rear brake pads and new fitting kit as well,       8-) ee like am reet gud me like, took some five hours from start to clearing away, the ride is a bit higher but it looks ok for me....

Thanks for suggestions fellow chaps
