I do not know the tdv8 but have you checked that there is no blockage in the radiator?

Hi Graham, I had problems with my L322 with cold heating, and expanding hose, get a big pop bottle cut bottom off put it in header tank make a good air tight seal fill with coolant start engine and keep topping bottle up if you have air it will push it out, the idea is to make the header tank night this removing air that's trapped, hope this helps.

So that sounds like you have an air lock. With some cars, P38 and others, it is easier to get the air out if the front of the car is raised.
