If the OPs started working on a tilt, under this theory that would mean the air had been expelled, so why did in stop working when put flat again?

Worth a try though......anything to get warm!
Because it wasn't vented after it started working again?!?

I'm gonna bleed it tonight - like I said, going to the local multistorey as the ramps are quite steep there. Although I do agree with you that it is strange as others haven't had this prob.
