Just looked at your photos, I have no idea the names of weeds other than the obvious ones, dandelion, daisy, clover etc. Digging out whatever that deep rooted thing is seems like a good idea but I would have sprayed it first, left it a week then dug it up incase I missed any root and it came back. Those broadleaf things look like dock, spot spray with your Weedol. All the wet weather we had recently has been great for any weed seeds in the soil.
If you have Japanese knotweed, you will have to do more than just dig it up, you will have to kill it off and keep spraying it with weed killer because any roots will just keep coming back. I believe it can take years to completely get rid of it. Probably best to burn or drown the plant and roots rather than put in the bin as you will just be spreading the stuff where ever it ends up.
Your new grass looks really good, better success than I got when i seeded up an old border on my front lawn. Let it grow to 2 or 3 inches long before cutting the top third off for the first cut. I maintain my lawn to about 2 inches high, it hides all the lumps and bumps in the lawn.
