How can you say that... and then say "cheers" ;-) If you just changed the coolant recently, then it might have settled in - although that usually happens in 100 miles, not 1000. The first thing I would do is tighten all the hose clamps. That includes the radiator as well as the heater & turbo hoses. See if it helps. Look for leaks by examining areas near hose connections that show some corrosion/buildup. Don't miss checking the bottle itself. Look around the edges of the head for any obvious leaks. Check everything again when hot since leaks show up better then. Check the oil for any white globs - that's a dreaded head gasket leak. If it continues, have a mechanic pump up the system and test for internal leaks.
