get a rubber glove and wrap it round the mixer tap where the water comes out, hold it tight with hand then gently open the mixer so the cold water can back flow thru the hot pipes, hold for about 30 seconds, this should blow any trapped air into your header tank.

hi, it sounds like there could be a problem with you cold water mains water pressure. that would cause a noise when re filling the toilet cistern, and also low pressure to the shower may cause the fault light to come on. check your mains stop cock is fully open then turn back a quarter turn.

Hi, i would check the instructions for that particular saniflow as to how high you can pump the watse. make sure you use sweep bends for the 2 corners and all should be well.

Have you fully turned the mains back on? is the cold water pressure ok else where in the house?

Maybe check the washer you have replaced, it may not been sitting right on the end of the valve.

im guessing your main cold water supply comes in the kitchen and the kitchen tap is tee'd off it then it will feed the tank in the loft, if the kitchen tap is fine then it sounds like abit of debris may have entered the float valve in the tank. check that the float is operating correctly in the tank...
