Cooling system seriously over pressurising, although the temp guage seems to behave itself, i have bled the system a cpl of times, but still no joy.

So looks like i got some spanner work to do over the hols.

Hope youve bled it with the front end in the air otherwise you will still have a bubble at the elbow of the heater matrix.  I almost gave up on mine thinking the same time, and bm motors managed to get another litre of water into it by tilting the car, no problems after that.
528 for now
