To answer you both.
Thermostat get the Toyota one, may cost mre but it will the correct opening temp/flow rate/fitment.
If water is not flowing back, check the short pipe within the expansion tank. This can become soft and just suck it's sides in rather than water back to the engine. Maybe the rad is blocked, have you tried a flush?
