Hi
I just changed the rad in a mates bathroom to a towel rad, I froze the pipes so I didn't have to drain the system,
When the rad was fitted it only filled halfway air stopped coming out bleed valve . Thought it was weirded but shut the valve to the rad and started the heating but the pump sounded funny.
Sounded like air in the pump so stopped pump bleeded but no water dribbled out, started heating up again sounded like it was pulsing the water but pump running fine,
I undone the bleed valve in the airing cupboard and I little air came out but was pulsing with the pump.
Do u think that the feed from header tank is blocked ?
I have tried to budge the air every way I can think. But not the pump sounds dry and no air coming from anywhere
If it is blocked can I just back fill it from the a drain down valve above the boiler? None on the rads down stairs
Hope u can help. Got little baby in house so they need a bit of heat too
Oh I should say I have no heating or hot water
Cheers
