no valves that i can see just go straight into and out of the cylinder tank

Air vents When you say the LS valves are cracked open, how much do you mean - 1/2 turn or what? They are just a nudge open like a 16th they still get hot.

Thanks Rob been a lot of help

OK Doesnt seem like I'm on a W plan as, when heating and water both on this morning - both sides of mechanical switch were getting warm. Now beginning to suspect the auto bypass valve. According to the specs of my boiler (BAXI solo 18HE) it doesn't require a bypass. Could a wrongly...

Pump is on setting 3 And yes when rads are working turning off the second floor rads does seem to make a difference. Although I've not tried turning of the bathroom rad yet last time I did that the boiler locked out ( baxi solo 18he) So been afraid to mess with that radiator yet

Only a few have the 3 regular ones on 2nd floor Bath rad on second floor and all other rads have basics lock valves Can't see any numbers on the bypass pic attached Actually one small rad on first floor has a trv ( we currently have this turned off and lock valve off)

So here's a diagram of my mangled ch pipes Why is there a t off after pump before mechanical port Why does that connect to the out flow of the water tank heat pipe Why does my inflow to water heater go in at the bottom Why 2 pipes going down towards boiler What are those weird...

When hot water is off I do get some heat to rads but its poor circulation. Second floor rads will get super hot , so I've turned the lock valves down on those to just a crack First floor gets mild at best. Ground floor is non existent - stone cold - I don't even feel any heat on the...

Hi All I have what I believe is a open circuit heating system. Live in a three storey house with 2 rads on ground, boiler and 4 rads on first floor, hot water tank and 4 rads plus controls on second floor. I'm not 100% sure but bathroom rad could be on the primary pipe from boiler to...

Hey guys just thought i'd let you know what it turned out to be. Managed to work out that the oven was new enough to be under warranty and got them out to look at it. Turned out it was a piece of the fibreglass backing that hadn't properly been punched out and was effectively blocking one...
