Sounds like an air lock, did you make sure the heater was on hot when you bled it Matt?

Thing is is it getting too hot when you drive?

Could be the hose is full of air, they are a swine sometimes.

I wouldn't leave it withour a thermostat for long in this weather, especially on short journeys but as a diagnosis you can.

Maybe the rad is getting blocked.

At idle the heater matrix will do a good job of keeping the engine cool.

Well I'd say if it's not bust, don't fix it.  It may be as simple as there is air in the top hose, as long as it's not an excessive amount then don't worry, or try crushing the hose as you bleed it, but if the guage is normal when driving then things are working fine.
