Start the car up and turn your heaters on to full heat, and full speed.

With the cap off, squeeze the top radiator hose every few seconds and you should notice air bubbles appearing. Then leave it for awhile and try again. This should help but always be aware of the coolent level, oh and dont put coolent in when the engine is hot, or you could crack the head.

sounds more like a possible blocked heater matrix TBH or youd be bleeting about the water spouting out like a fountain or overheating at the first oppertunity or just generally fukked up lol :D

lets put it this way, if it dont overheat, there cant be much wrong lol :D
