Welcome to the forum George,
Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.
Did you overfill the reservoir? Here's the bleed procedure from the Workshop Manual:
10.3.3 System Bleed (following maintenance)
To avoid fluid aeration and possible pump damage, the initial fill process must be carried out with the ignition OFF.
Set the fluid level approximately 20 mm above the upper dipstick level, and cycle the steering no less than three (3) times from lock to lock (this may be best achieved with the front wheels off the ground). As air is expelled the fluid level will fall, the level should be corrected. Start the engine and further cycle the steering until the fluid level becomes stable. Stop the engine and finally set the level in accordance with the fluid level check procedure.
