Mate, you never believe it!;I did it! I pushed and prodded wrestled with it all afternoon and then finally it dislodged and the water flowed out .
What a joy.
The heating is back on!
Fantastic
Thank you so much for all your help.
It's been Brilliant having you and Terry there to guide me ...
afternoon!
ok, so I had a go and have disconnected the pipe configuration from the pump as you suggested.
the F&E tank is clean as a whistle and I popped some water into it
when i let it run nothing came out!!
Have also discovered a gate valve half-way up the cold feed. So i disconnected it...
Well thanks to you both. This has been really helpful. I'm done for the evening but will try again tomorrow. Thanks for taking an interest, I'm really grateful.
Yes I do have an upstairs.
No water coming for the rads up here. I think a lot of water had left the system today.
Are you suggesting just bleed an individual rad?
Ok so I have used my magnet.
Not sticking to the feed pipe as far as I can tell.
But.
It is sticking to the pipe directly above, and leaving, the pump.
Also sticks to the horizontal pipe leading to the air release valve
