I park mine on a hill and it flashes to say it's low on oil, park on a level surface and it's reading max

Have you tried flushing it out with a running hose. Fill it back up with water with a dye in it then as the water gets pumped round the engine as you bleed it. You can rule out a fooked water pump.

Have you tried any of the other suggestions?

I haven't had chance other than to put new bottle and cap and remove
Thermostat... This weekend I'm gonna spend all day on it and start eliminating all other possibilities
