I could have sworn that the bleeding was good and was free of air but I guess I could be wrong. The fluid level is halfway to allow for expansion just in case too
To me that sounds like water in the system, boiling when hot and pressurising the system.
Have you changed/topped up the fluid recently, and was it from a new sealed (Unshaken) can?
