You don't really want water passing through the bypass when the valves are open so I wouldn't worry too much about that if the flow and return temps are ok at the Boiler.
I'm surprised it still bangs but you do need to rule things out like the lack of a by-pass before you can start to think of other possibilities,

Cheers, it seems to be dragging on this but any suggestions I will try and I really appreciate all the help and advice.
Flow and return seem normal and all radiators get nice and hot.
I even tried balancing the system by restricting flow in the first radiator to warm up and so on.
I tried refitting the bypass valve with a normal 22mm isolation valve which I fully opened and it still banged. This would suggest an auto bypass is not required or not working even though the water is passing through and the pipes are hot.
When I am bleeding the system, when there is air present it doesn't bang. It's only when all the air is removed it starts to bangs.
Could the system just be full of glag as the filter is really dirty every week with bits of swarf/metal in it.
Thanks again.
