the pipe that goes from the top of the radiator to the thermostat housing looks like its squeezed and when the expansion cap is opened the pipe opens out a bit.
what causes that?

As the cooling system gets cold it cotracts and forms a partial vacuum so sucking in the pipe. Check that you have the correct cap on the resevoir bottle.
Not sure but it may have a vent valve in it to stop this problem.
