Your description sounds like the pressure stat might need to be adjusted, have you tried that yet? The safety valve fires when it gets above ~1.7 or 1.8 bar IIRC. Try adjusting down to 1.5 if it's going higher than that. Also, if the adjustment won't hold the pressure stat might need to be replaced, they can eventually fail since they are plastic and degrade over time.
