OK thanks.

I'm not so sure. I recall other members believing that following the correct bleeding procedure couldn't possibly be the cause of their problems, but it was.

I've driven it for a few months without any issue?
That doesn't prove a thing.

I just vented the hose when I topped it up, only a few small bubbles then.
You shouldn't remove the bleed screw unless the expansion tank is raised. I've always followed the MGR procedure to the letter and I've never had an air lock. What conclusion do you draw from that?

Cheers,

Simon
