Thanks everyone, I think I'm going to have to get an engineer in. I've done it about 10 times and no more bubbles. We pay a monthly to WBosch anyway, was just hoping to fix it myself rather than wait until they can get to us. The tank is probably slightly above the burner (but mere cm in it)...

Thanks John. Have probably done it about 6 times and still froth/bubbles coming out. The tank is probably about 6 metres away from the boiler. Reckon this is the norm?

Right John we're getting somewhere. Turned it (it was chewed!) whilst the pump was working, loads of bubbles and then the oil started coming through. Went back to lockout though, tried again and it's still going to lockout. How long should I let it bleed for?

Good tip about the lock out to make it bleed. I'm still at a loss though (again really sorry - you must get frustrated with amateurs!). Here's another photo of the whole boiler. Where do I need to look? Direct Link to full image http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/2527/dsc01628w.jpg...

Hi John, thanks for your prompt reply. I'm not sure what make the pump is to be honest. I can adjust again no problem. Where on the braided pipe is there a place to bleed? Any ideas? I'm a complete novice here by the way (if you hadn't already guessed!)

We've made the cardinal error and ran out of oil last Monday. Only just managed to get someone in to fill it up yesterday due to the weather. Still in lockout. Tried what I think is the bleed screw which is a bronze fitting with an allen key hole. Assume it follows the laws of normal...
