The cold feed from the F&E tank WAS blocked. I had a drain cleaning kit (basically some bendy wire) and managed to use that to free it up. Once this was done I followed your advice on how to force air through the system to the expansion tank. All rads are now working and we have DHW again :D I e...

Thanks A, Unfortunately I'm falling at the first hurdle here, I've tried venting the pump but nothing is coming out of it. Also the system I have doesn't allow just CH to be set. It's either just HW or HW and CH. The motorised valve just controls flow in to the CH system, there is nothing to prevent...

Trying to be clever I decided to drain the system down and try and remove any air locks. In doing so I seem to have caused more problems!! Now the...
