It wasn't moving then in 5 minutes just started coming out the reservoir.

That didn't answer my question.
Could still be just a clogged line.

It was a clogged line. It's posted above

Thanks for all your help everyone

Oh, sorry must have skipped the last page before posting.
 Removing the restrictor will cause the coolant to enter the resevoir faster.
  It can splash against the cap and the pulses of pressure in addition to the normal coolant system pressure can cause the pressure valve to open and leak a little.
 I've seen someone build a splash shield to halt this when it became a problem.

I ended up leaving the restrictor just had to drill it out abit to remove the clog

It's probably one of the thinnest passageways in the cooling system so it'll probably clog again.
 I've wondered  if it should have a filter before it.

If your cooling system is clean and your coolant is in good condition there shouldn't be anything solid in the cooling system to clog it up.  If your coolant is old and not working properly anymore or you've been using straight tap water for your mix then you may have dissolved solids that will clog things.

I've owned it for a year and have changed the coolant twice with fresh coolant and disttilled water. No telling what happened to this poor car before then

Have you ever run an actual flush?  If it is clogging up repeatedly then there's still a lot of scale in there somewhere, would be a good idea to get it out.  That stuff hurts cooling efficiency big time too.

I dumped a rad flush product in and drove 150km then flushed with distilled drove 50km them  added new coolant. When I swap motors I will remove rad and give it a good flush
