I have today changed my 3 port valve on this system and followed the rules for draining down and up etc.
The valve I changed was to replace a landis and gyr obsolete model with the hortsmann from screwfix.com
Anyway replacing wire for wire (except earth as this new one is double insulated and does not require it), I fire up the system to find after fill tanks that the motrised pump is whirring around the water but the boiler is not responding to thermostat demand etc. It has not fired since draining down.
Note I waited for the tanks to fill. Bleeded all the radiators twice. And have cold water from both hot and cold taps all over the house.
I know the 3 port valve responds and sometime it changes over to ports A & B when I fiddle with the other gate valves in the airing cupoard.
No boiler flame from my trustie potterton F (I do not have a pressure gauge as I don’t think I need one on this type of system).
Any ideas to get my flame going?
