Well i went into the loft and tried again, but this time there was no hissing air :( So i went round the radiators again, and BINGO. The one in the hall musta been around half full of air! Once that was all released i started the system again... took about an hour for it to get goin but i now...

Thanks Hugh, i will try that when i get home. I really hope the air in the system is the problem.

The little valve at the top of the pipe, should i sit with it open until the hissing stops? I sat there in the freezin cold loft for about 15mins with it hissing, it hadn't stopped when i shut it... I assume from reading on here that i have an open system, not a sealed one. So should this...

Thanks for the replies... The boiler is in the kitchen, has no gauge on it tho... The pump is in the loft, I have no idea why it's up there (rented accomodation. Can't get hold of landlady ATM cos I think she is away...). There is a water cylinder in the loft too, wrapped in laggin. I assume...

Ok, i am fairly good at tinkering with things but computers are more my kinda forte and i'm cold! So here's what happened: The missus came down in the night to sleep on the sofa (she's preggers and gets hip pain in bed so lays on the settee) and found a puddle in the living room. The...
