You've utterly lost me. Please could you confirm the sequence of events, which appears to be:
1. System drained.
2. Boiler replaced.
3. System chemically cleaned.
4. System filled (inhibitor not added).
5. System pumping over.

Its OK Greg!
I am G8ABQ and can probably help you!
You need to drain out all the dirty water for a start and then refill and drain a few more times until its reasonably clear.
Then add X400 or X800 and circulate it round the system for the relevant times of four weeks or one day respectively.
If the rads were new you could add an acid cleanser but I dont think that will be a good idea in your case.

Cor someone normal on here well as normal as us g's can be
Done all the cleaning bit water now runs clear but still have the problem.
The question is realy does the feed pipe need to be near the boiler to stop this flow through the expansion pipe?

This wrong.
The cold feed was traditionally connected to the return & the OV to the flow, 'cos boilers were liable to boil, the steam was vented up the OV and the cold feed water came down the return pipe cooling the boiler. The boiler was invariably cast iron and had negligible hydraulic resistance.
It won't work on most modern boilers' cos they have significant hydraulic resistance, so a pressure difference between CF & OV. The pressure difference causes flow.
You've knobbed it up.
If you hadn't been so rude, I'd have told you how to fix it.
