I would imagine an air lock would give strange temp readings, noisy water pump maybe?

You have air in the heater, bleed the heater.

i just tried to bleed the heater, turned engine on for about 15 secs, couldnt get the heater bleed cap off so turned engine off, managed to get cap off and water was coming out so im guessing there isnt a lock there?
