It's more than likely the gaskets. It's posted all over this place that non OEM ones are crap and you won't save any money by using them

System should NOT need bleeding as the filler on the rad is the highest point in the system and air will all rise their and escape, just run engine for a couple of minutes with the filler cap off after re-filling with coolant.

The bits you need come in a good set I got from Machine Mart

http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/cht569-100pce-bit-set?da=1&TC=SRC-bit%20set

There is a machine mart near my house so I use them a lot, they do mail order too. I'm sure you could also get from Screwfix.
