Ah, I see. Thanks all - several things for me to look into.

Yes I get water out of the rads when I bleed them - infact water comes out straight away. And kettling is an excellent way to describe the noise - it's just like a kettle coming to the boil. I'll try the fernox, but also have a look at the header pipes, but can you explain more about why...
