Those compression figs look good to me, so carry on checking thru the cooling system and you should be good to go, will you still break it or sell complete? SPQR but then no bank of spares decisions decisions.
Re the jiggle valve this might help http://www.mgfcar.de/bleed/ scroll down it's comes after the bit about bleeding and has a piture showing location click on it and its position is clear.
I've also attached a schematic (I presume correct) of the F cooling system which might help it shows 2 jiggle valves that both vent to the expansion tank so 1 or maybe both could be the problem. As stated before read up on the threads but it's awkward as most people (like me) do not fully understand the cooling system, hence it must be the HG.
