You've got an airlock.. let the engine warm up, remove the coolant header tank cap and squeeze the heater matrix hoses.

I occasionally get this. Seems to have gone now. Car never overheats though which is symptoms of airlock.

Aye, happened when i had airlock too.

I just took my header tank cap of, turned the engine on and let it run for 10mins. Put the cap back on and turn it off. Took it for a drive and it was fine again :)

Bleed the cooling system and use new coolant and try again.

Are you using any water?

When the car has been left for a few hours, or over night, i turn the car on and there is a noise coming from near the dashboard area.
the noise sounds like a trickling water sound but once the engine has been on for about 30-45 seconds.
does anybody no what this is?
