Thanks 'oilboffin', that's the plan at the moment. Further to this problem, I now have access to the pipe work under the floor and can see that the central heating circuit is Hepworth 15x2mm grey plastic pipe. The rads are fed from the 15mm pipe by grey microbore pipe (8 or 10mm I think). As I...

Yes I did that and all of the normal stuff. Thanks for the reply.

Yes that's what he said. Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the quick reply. Not sure what or where the manifolds are?

Hi all, My house was built in 2001 and the central heating system is piped with grey micro-bore pipe. I have three radiators which will not get hot, one upstairs and two downstairs. All were working fine at the end of last winter. I have tried all of the usual methods to get them to work but...

Thanks for your reply. I have had a look at the faq's. I don't think the PRV has opened because it has reached 3 bar. Is it saying that the PV pressure is low? Is it possible that the PRV becomes faulty and just starts to leak? Is it looking like the problem is definitely boiler side because...

I have had this boiler about 2.5 years and had no problems. Over the last 2 weeks I have been having to top it up as it is tripping out on low pressure. I have been doing some alterations to my bathroom recently which entailed extending central heating pipes (10mm plastic), these are all under...
