If the rad was funked, that might have caused the HG, exactly what it did on my corsa before i bought it.

You keep saying about this HG being replaced but have you not read that since Will has had the car,hes drove it without any coolant/water in the system.This will cause the HG to go again if it has been driven for a period of time with no coolant/water.

Check the system everyday Will and take note if the coolant level is dropping.If it is then something aint right.

how can you say here that you dont think this is correct and then a few posts down say you know nothing about cars?

if the coolant system is under pressure then you let off the cap you are depressurising the system and the coolant will spray out a bit, this is normal

also, the garage you take it to dont seem to know much if they tell you something that basic is not meant to happen
