there is no blockages in the bleeding valves in the attic. I took the caps off the ones that were dry. They had black plastic covers over the top once the metal cap was removed. I took the plastic top off and water came shooting out. I managed to put the cap back on but it does not seem to be...

i have checked in the loft and opened all the bleeding valves that i could find. A small bit of air came out of one of them then water flowed. There were two valves that released no water or air that seemed to be dry. I looked in the loft for valves above the boiler but there were none.

I have tried everything but though i would ask the forum for help! Last night i tried bleeding the radiators but did not turn off the pump or CH beforehand. I now realise my mistake!! This afternoon i noticed the pump was making a wooshing sound as though air was rushing through the pipes...
