Your car shouldn't lose any water - if it is then you have a leak somewhere - probably caused by the heat causing things to expand which is not showing up in the cold pressure test. Did you replace the thermostat when the rad was changed? Some garages don't change them because they are either too difficult to get at or they don't know where it is located.

no ive had the balloned radiator symptom a couple of months ago and did not change the stat out i agree with the suspect theorie of the stat slugging the core with a steam shock it also explains the water loss with no leaks showing on a hot&cold pressure test
*latest,it has taken out the radiator core that was fitted a couple of months ago i,m also going to check the heater matrix to be safe so much for thermostats
