We now have hot water!The problem was that the pipe exiting the tank from the coil had a 50mm low point so water wasnt circulating.Leveled up pipe and problem solved. A big thanks to everyone who helped.

The pipe feeding the coil is level(I had a spirit level on it) the swan neck is just lining the connection horizontally not vertically. If anything the pipe coming out of the coil is low at one point by a inch.

if I loosen coil connections will that let any traped air out?

the supplier was asked twice.so to make sure as I had already got a cylinder for a pumped system.But when I looked in the cylinders the coils looked the same.

I have uploaded photos, there on my profile

same pipework, note the bleed valve heating engineer fitted.

heating engineer fitted a bleed valve off a radiator on the coil feed pipe. pipework 28mm then reduces to 22mm just next to tank. when I switched on heating this morning there was a bit off banging ang gurgling for about 30 secs. engineer cut into cold feeed and checked it, and he blew around...
