Hi Mandate, Yeah I have had the TRV's apart and they are all working correctly... Yes I think you are correct and it needs a damn good clear out of the pipes to try and free up the blockage, you are right somewhere in the system it turns in to small bore pipe and then increases to 15mm piping...

Bit of an update and have been trying to get my head around what system I have. I couldn't find a pressure gauge and filling loop because I don't have one, I have an open system with a F&E tank. Hence re-pressurising the system is irrelevant. The only thing I can think of now is that...

Hi Thanks for the link. I looked late last night but I am at work now so can't but for the life of me I couldnt find any sort of pressure gauge or this braded hose to repressurise. Any ideas?

Um no. Could this be the issue? How do I go about repressurising it? I assumed that once the water had filled all the radiators that that was sufficient?

Hi. Thanks for your reply. Yeh it did have trv on the old one and it worked albeit not very well (hence the replacement). That's what I've already done, I shut the 3 off downstairs so that the boiler would jst heat the one upstairs but for some reason in this scenario the boiler will not ignite...

I don't know, I certainly haven't fitted one...what's the purpose of it? what will it achieve?

Thats what I thought so I spent an hr earlier doing that. But it was just a constant flow of liquid out of the bleed valve and no air came out. where could the air be?? um sorry for the ignorance but what is an a/b?

Hi, I have the above boiler - I think it is a sealed system but cannot guarantee, I have read about repressurizing the system with the loop feed! Anyone know where I can find this on this model of boiler? Many Thanks Rob

Thank Mandate, I have bled and opened each radiator in turn from the closest to the boiler to the newest one. All the valves are fully open and the radiators are showing a 12deg difference between the inlet and outlet valve so i think the balancing is fine apart from the new one which is stone...

Oh and the boiler is in the kitchen on the 1st floor with the tank above it in a loft space. Rob

Hi, This is what my current situation is. I have a 2 floor flat, Kitchen Bathroom and Living room on one floor and then above it my bedroom on the same floor plan as the living room. I have a Ideal Classic LXFF 230 Combi Boiler that supplies 4 radiators. one in each room. My bedroom...
