Sorry to mess you about, your help is greatly appreciated. The boiler is: Ideal mexico Super 2 CF60 Controller is: British Gas comfort controller Boiler/controller by the back door downstairs. Room Stat: ? no idea. Its a strange little gadget near the garage door. No dial, nothing...

To bleed the 1st time, we took a rad off and used the rad valves to bleed the system (we tied off the header tank). We though we'd bled the whole system, but obviously not. We also bled the boiler when it wouldn't fire by turning the bleed valve on the front of the boiler. There isn't a...

Hiya We bled all the rads, the boiler, the pump - the boiler is downstairs. I've been in the loft and can't find any vent pipes... We've tried both the hw and the ch, timed, on continual, on frost and over-riding to put the heat/water on no luck at all..... A plumber is the very last...

We are wanting to drain the whole system because we screwed up! We took off a radiator to replace some buckled 10mm pipe and to decorate. That went well and we replaced the radiator with no problems. Refilled the system, again no problems. When we tried to re-start the ch/hw the boiler...

Thank you! We have got concrete floors and drain cocks on each rad - we are happy to admit we are thick enough to not realise we needed to drain every one :oops: ! Do we also need to drain the boiler? Also, do we fill up the system in the standard way? Many thanks SAM xx

Hiya - hope someone can help! :D We have drained our ch system partially but can't drain the lower radiators. We turned off the boiler, tied off the ballcock in header tank, opened the drain cock downstairs and drained some water out, we then opened the upstairs bleed points, this drained...

We've bled the pump - there is water in the pump, rather than air. No overheat button to be found. The boiler has fired a couple of times but only for about 1min at a time. This is triggered only by turning boiler thermostst up to full. The type of boiler: not sure of make/model etc...

No idea why hubby tied it off - to stop it filling the system while he tried to empty it I suppose? No switches have been changed at all. The CH/HW was turned to frost but thats it.... SAMxx

We tied off the ballcock, then released it when we had finished. The room stat is fine. CH/HW will not work - its not one its both! SAM xx

Hiya I hope someone would be kind enough to help out...? My hubby removed the livingroom radiator for decorating, then replaced it today. However, now we have a problem. We restarted the flow to the header tank, bled all the rads in the house, and turned on the CH. The pilot light is lit...
