One radiator in my system doesn't heat up properly. It is warmish at the thermostat end and stone cold everywhere else. It's only about 7 years old, is there a way to determine if it's blocked at all? I can bleed it and water flows out. The return/pipe valve isn't closed. What's the best...

Thanks for the help - today I took off the braided hose and checked to see if blocked - not sure if it may have been just barely blocked - refitted and pumped up the expansion vessel which did have pressure to begin with but not sure how much! Time will tell if it's a success! Cheers

I can see the bit you mean, well the bottom of it, connected via a flexible braided hose? If I get over the top somehow, how would I pressurize it?

not possible for mine due to mounting position! shall I remove the cover?

if I remove the big grey panel with the viewing window in it for the burner is it easy to get to? can i check the pressure with a tyre gauge? does this mean it just needs repressurised? is it something I can do, I have ability to get air into it if that's what I need, or is it going to need a...

is the vessel the big blue cylinder mounted above the hot water tank? what do you mean flat? the pressure does go up to 3 or thereabouts but not always, more so shortly after start up from cold can't say for sure if water leaks outside or not

Hi, I'm after for some advice on a pressure issue with my boiler. It's a Saunier Duval Themaclassic F18E SB. When the heating switches on via timer the boiler won't fire because the pressure gauge is flashing showing only 1bar of pressure, the red light is also flashing. If I open the water...
