It's more of a sigh than a bottle hiss. Anyway, I've just done the above test (engine to 3000rpm etc.) so I'll take the cap off tomorrow and see what it does this time.

Ok, I'll do a bleed/top up after seeing (hearing) what happens when I take the cap off tomorrow.

NB. If I turn the engine fan off (via Demist button) or switch the engine off I can hear some faint gurgling going on behind the centre console.
