How long should it take to circulate coolant round the system with the stat open?

Not sure what capacity Rad. it is, just say standard.

Just sorted my anti-freeze out, wondered how long it would take to dilute.

You should put the coolent in before the water, so it dilutes pretty much instantly.

I was topping up with coolant though, not draining and starting from scratch, by the time id put a litre of coolant in, the expansion tank was full.
