What be the cause(s) and solution(s) pleaseeeeee?
 
My guess sludge. It's probably not air but gases created by sludge in system. That'll also make it noisy. Obvious place to start I know but that's why I suggest that first.
 
Could be the pump drawing air down the vent and filling the Rad every few days or the rushing noise could be the pump pushing through a nearly closed rad valve.
 
Cold feed and vent arrangement wrong. This will have caused a build up of crud in the surrounding pipe work, causing it to suck down the expansion.
Power flush plus pressurisation your best bet.

Can anyone remember the Mira mixer shower that would work down to a really low pressure on a vented hot water system without a shower pump?
