Thanks for the speedy reply Neal, Before I left my parents this evening I put the lever back to MAN OPEN as he was the plumber and I was only guessing. Regarding the flushes they were (at leat the last one) chemical flushes but not power flushes. The flush they put in with the boiler is to...

Hi tony is the vent pipe the one I have been trying to bleed in the airing cupboard?

I dont have a rad key to bleed the top rad John..will try and get one. I am still stuffed as to how its just all shut down. I remmber that the heating stopped in my old house with a similar system and I just manually turned the three way valve to water or heating. I am not sure where the...

Sorry never fully followed your insructions!..how do I manually open the motorized valve?and do I set it to water or heating|?

Is this the valve that clicks (motorized noise) when turning switches from heating constant to water constant or both constant etc? Port a and port b? If so you can definately hear it moving.

The boiler definately fires up if i turn the switch to heating constant but then nothing.

Thanks for the replies so far! We have not long been living here and we have had no work done on it as yet. With regards to the pump i took a photo (scuse the wallpaper) and added which pipes were hot/warm/cold if its any help? I keep thinking if the pump is SO much hotter than the...
