I think we have balanced radiators, turning valves to a minimum nearest the boiler etc. I am also getting conflicting info on whether to have the heating on or off when you bleed the radiators. Can I add more inhibitor as we have added a fair amount of fresh water to the system over the time...

Took the radiator off again drained it ran water through, sludge came out but is now clear. Put on heating and opened both valves both (while radiator was removed) of which flowed well while discharging sludge into a bowl. Put the radiator back on, bled system and still the flaming thing...

We did remove radiator and flush through. We have checked exit pipe and it flowed with water, only thing we didn't do is the inlet pipe because it seemed to get hot. We'll give it another go. If that flows fine I am a loss as to what it could be. We have checked valves etc. Watch this space!

We had pressure problems with our worcester combi and it turned out that the expansion vessel had failed so we kept filling up the system and it would keep going down over a few days. Once it was replaced everything has gone back to normal. Don't know if your boiler is the same type but it's...

Can anyone help? I have a stone cold radiator which will get slightly warm if you shut off all the other radiators then once you open the others it goes cold again. The exit pipe from the radiator never gets hot. I have bled the system and balanced it, replaced the pump and am at a loss as to...
