do you get hot air from your vents and which bleed points did you use when rebleeding?

Hmm, when you say its overheating over 50ish, is that at a constant speed? Should be plenty of airflow at that speed to keep the engine cool. I'd be doing headgasket checks tbh, although it's not common with the 1.8.
