i was unlucky - cold shower n bed for me. it will all still be waiting for me tomorrow. cheers again :mrgreen:

I am now sat here with a little (big) grin on my face!! woohoo i really cannot thank you enough!! never though this problem woulda got resolved over an internet forum but you cannot imagine how very pleased i am! it was the the right hand tap - you was right (i was wrong!!) and i would...

:D :D :D :D

busted? :?: :oops:

if i have... would it be what water would pass through just before it hits the filling loop?

right there we have a pic to hopefully make things a bit clearer.

just thought of something else that could cause a problem if i start undoing valves or etc i have 2 loops on my central heating system is that makes sense? the kitchen radiator and then the rest of the radiators are on another. i havent drained the kitchen radiator - but all the others are...

picasso yeah thats pretty much the one... just going to see if i can work out which the mains valve is... not sure how i will know which one is furthest away from the boiler when they are all underneath it?

well my guess would be its not the taps because they were working fine not all that long ago and they dont seem any different to turn now than they were then - plus the boiler and pipe work upto it was only installed less than 3 year ago. So the check valve - this is directly infront of the...

its a 'not so great' heatline boiler with a tap at each side of the filling loop. hmmm.. so which bit is the valve exactly - the bit before the first tap? i am wondering if i can take a photo and post it up?? thanks so much for trying to help me out - its very much appreciated!

picasso... little twisty cap things = possibley also known as tap heads maybe? i mean the 2 things that you can twist to open each side of the filling loop. i have given it a tap already/. sometimes when you turn the one on that is furthest away from the boiler - the first end that water...

burnerman ... yes there are two taps - i have opened them both and nothing - and yes the mains are also on. tried re-setting the boiler aswell but nothing happened there either

i was contemplating taking that off to have a look but i had visions of a never ending hose pipe effect happening? can i only take the end off nearest to the boiler or can both end be removed. ... also... would i be right in presuming that the little twisty cap things need to be in the...

Right where to start.... how about i thought i knew what i was doing but it turns out afterall that i dont!! :( drained the central heating system today via the front room radiator. (i was having a sludge problem and it wasnt heating as it should). took the radiator off, flushed it out...

i know its a fair price that i've been quoted but its always better still when you can get it done yourself for a fraction of that cost a few days ago i didnt have a clue what i was supposed to do or where to start but after fiddling and risking making the job 10 times worse! i seemed to have...

and just to add, i know the power flush is probably the best method to take but being the only person in the house i'd rather try and save the cash and do the job myself if its possible. just keeping that as my plan b for now. and plus with having dodgy valves they would all need replacing...

when i turn the spare room radiator off, my bedroom radiator gets alot hotter when its on full. when i turn my bedroom radiator off aswell, the front room rad gets a bit of heat. so would i be right it thinking this is the best method to take for now?? firstly, drain system via front room...
