Some coolant systems are easy to bleed and others are a pig, that is why there are many bleed points. Regarding bleeding then air rises to the top of a straight up and down static fluid vessel but when there are horizontal runs and the water is being forced in one direction only then it's easy to develop air pockets at high points in the system. If the system is still pressurised after a whole day of leaving it then the system is air tight and there are no leaks so it's not likely the head gasket is leaking otherwise the pressure would leak away The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!! "if someone has put it together then I will take it apart" it might never work again but at least I will have an understanding of how it worked and might be able to buy another if the problem still persists i'd guess head gasket, if you want to be sure about this and you have breakdown cover wait untill its doing it oneday and call the relavant company out and they'll do a check and tell you if it's the head or not make sure you keep the headder tank topped up the whole time or the process will be pointless, it's best to bleed it when the car is up to temp and with the heaters turned up full that's how i've always done it. Bleeding is easy find the lowest bleeding point in the cooling system, this could be the thermostat housing, unscrew the nipple untill it comes through with just pure fluid then cap it, then move up the system the next one could be the heater matrix hose.
