I am now sat here with a little (big) grin on my face!! woohoo i really cannot thank you enough!! never though this problem woulda got resolved over an internet forum but you cannot imagine how very pleased i am! it was the the right hand tap - you was right (i was wrong!!) and i would...

:D :D :D :D

busted? :?: :oops:

just thought of something else that could cause a problem if i start undoing valves or etc i have 2 loops on my central heating system is that makes sense? the kitchen radiator and then the rest of the radiators are on another. i havent drained the kitchen radiator - but all the others are...
