Just have to keep bleeding and topping up the pressure when it stops coming out Eventually water will come out

Do you have thermostatic rad valves? Is the circulating pump operating when heating is on? Are the rad valves turned on?

In that case there is air in the system which needs to be bled out. The gauge is less sensitive when there is air in the system as air compresses easier than water Bleed out the air from the rads

Think about £50 ish

Yes there is a plug in the front of the boiler one Vaillant (VT40 ?) dont quote me :) I have one myself

Bleed the rads with boiler off Tap the gauge whilst filling as they can stick sometimes Should be around 1 bar Does the upstairs have trvs that are stuck? Obviously if you bleed then you need to top up the pressure

Absolutely I would change it free of charge.My mistake=My problem Wouldnt take very long anyways,probably without draining down The Trv should have an arrow on its body telling you which way to fit it,if it is bi-directional it will have arrows pointing to both valve openings

I use a window lift sucker on flat trays :)

I went to look at a job last week. When i got there i found it had a Baxi combi boiler that didnt look that modern,which had (an optional extra) like a small expansion vessel on the water circuit like you have with an unvented cylinder. The problem the client is getting is. The downstairs...
