sounds like the 3 port valve(three pipes coming out of it) or two port valve sticking open - it would need to be found, - do you know where the pump is as it may be close to that. Or could be under the floor. It is not a problem with the immersion though. good of the guy to come back f.o.c. when you...

maybe ask for a second opinion on the powerflush but true enough removing the radiators will not clear a choke in the pipes leading to them Then again a powerflush would not remove a choke that bad anyway so check that any quotes include physically removing blockages as required

i agree with the heating engineer this is not something you can fix yourself, try checking if the radiators heat when the hot water is running by itself - may be a faulty diverter valve

crazy talking, you are pretty much going to have to change or remove your fire downstairs - might be worth checking if you can have a balanced flue model fitted or a lot of people just put in an electric fire for the look. cheers

you really should try recharging the expansion vessel, & if you have found the servicing manual it will mention it in there, normally as part of a yearly maintainance check
