Hi all Well thanks for your help. I am not much the wiser, but have fixed the leak. I found a draingae point and drained all the water off the system. I found that the leak was in a small hole in the rad, so once the system was drained down, I used a product called Leak-Fix that seems to have...

What I did last night was to turn off the water at the mains plus turn off the boiler. I then turned the red knob closest to the door in the picture of the tank thinking this would stop water coming from the tank. Unfortunately, none of this has stopped the water leaking out of the rad!!!

And, for good measure, a picture of the hot water tank in the bathroom...

Finally, the right hand side of the boiler. As you can see, no pipes here, just the grey cables...

Okay, here is the bottom view. As you can see, there is a shelf, but the pipe dissapearing down in the previous picture is the one you can see in this picture. The grey wire is an electricity cable....

Good morning folks Well, I didn't get much sleep! I was asked for a picture of the pipes going into our boiler. Well, itis a little boxed in, so I've taken pictures from the left, right and bottom.... First, the left hand side. What you can see is a single pipe disappearing underneath...

Okay, this is a picture of the innards of the boiler....

Sorry about the delay, Blasphemous. I was on the phone to the missus, telling her about my little saga. I have found our digicamera so have taken a picture of the innards of the boiler. Only thing is, I don't know how to post images (do you happen to have a link that shows me how to do...

That looks more-or-less like it. I'd take a picture, but I think my wife has the digi camera. She's away tonight on a course, leaving me with this little problem plus looking after the baby :evil:

Okay, just taken a look at the boiler. It has no obvious filling loop device (which is a bit worrying). It seems to have three copper pipes going in/out of it (one clearly labelled gas) and that is it. Opened up the front panel and couldn't see anything obvious there either....

Just so you know, the boiler is called an 'Ideal Classic'

Right, just checked and definitely no tank in the loft, but also not a combi. Still no idea what a filling loop is (was about to look that one up)

Right, we have a system boiler in a cupboard in the kitchen and a hot water tank in the bathroom. (I'm hoping you're going to come up with a magic answer)

Right that all makes sense. But, as I said earlier, we have our friendly plumber booked in for early December. Ideally, I'd be able to isolate the radiator an just leave it off until he arrives and fixes it (he is doing the chemical clean and fixing a new inhibitor, btw. Which leaves me with...
