Thanks John. The thing is, I think we're contemplating getting a whole new combi boiler central heating system as back boilers are s*it! But for now thanks for the advice!

Yeah, I checked the cistern and it was full of black smelly stuff. I cleaned as much as I could and the cistern has now filled up with water. Does this mean I have water back in the radiators if the cistern is full?

I have drained down all radiators to disonnect a radiator and to remove some pipe work. On thing now is I am not sure how to re-fill the radiators. It's a back boiler system. There are valves in the airing cupboard but am not sure if I am meant to fill them up from one of these? Help...

Thanks very much. Is there a way I can cut these pipes without draining the system down? I don't mind getting a bit wet!

I would like to remove a radiator and a couple of metres of radiator pipe. However, the system is a back boiler. Would I need to connect the 2 pipes together for my flow and return or can I just cap these pipes off?
