Brilliant mate, I am finally on the right track then lol After having all of the radiators on for 10 minutes I have noticed a considerable drop in temperature of the warm parts of the "faulty" radiator. I am guessing that the balancing does need looking at now so have just turned all of the...

So, here we are at the end of a fun few hours. I have now opened up all of the other lock shield valves and bled every radiator. FYI there was no air in any of them. The heating is now on with every radiator appearing to be working fine.............apart from the same one in the living...

Thanks mate, that is tomorrows task I think! I have now left all of the radiators turned off via the lock shield valves sending all of the heat to the radiator that wasnt working very well. I am pleased to report the top of the radiator has heated up quite abit. Nothing like I would expect...

Thanks for the reply, Yeah i have now figured out that the thermostat is working, false alarm. Now to figure out why the radiator isnt then lol It is slowly heating up and is getting hotter at the top but the bottom still feels cool. I may leave it like this for another hour and see if it...

Another interesting development. I have turned the thermostat right down to off and the boiler still fired up requesting heat? I am thinking I have definitely inadvertently found another problem :? I better add, we run the heating on the timer to switch off at 11pm and tbh the last few...

Yeah cheers mate, I ckecked all of the TRV's as I went around the radiators. All pins appear to be intact...I think lol Its weird the thermostat. I cant really explain what I mean, erm lets say the thermostat dial is at 10C and therefore not on. The "click" on the thermostat would be at the...

Another thing I have noticed which may or may not be relevant. The thermostat is "clicking" at 20C and has been for a few days. It doesnt matter how high you have it sat at 25C, 27C, it always always clicks at 20C. I am sure it used to click when you requested heat as such....could my thermo...

Thanks for the reply mate, really appreciated! Yeah to be honest we never have again. He was a friend of a friend who was all but retired and to be honest I dont think he could be bothered to do anything to it so mumbled something about getting someone to flush it. As I said, I never got it...

Just for thread updating so people know where I am at lol The radiator wasnt getting any hotter so I have decided to go around and close all of the lock shield valves apart from that one radiator to see if that heats it up. If it does then my plan is to turn the heating off again and let...

Ok I am thinking after abit of reading this could be my main problem. If all of the lock shield valves were open then the last radiator (if it is infact the living room one) will not be getting as much heat! How can I test if this radiator will heat up fully before I buy a digital thermometer...

Afternoon all, I am just after some re-assurance that I am doing things correct and would really appreciate some tips or advice if needed. I live in a 3 story town house, fairly new build (6 years) with radiators in every room. We have an ideal ICOS condensing boiler (He12 I think) and...

Hmm I am sure thats what he fixed last time...wonder if its gone again! Anyway, brilliant mate. Thanks again for your help! I will let you know what he says next week, atleast weve got some heating until then 8)

Sorry mate, I think we were typing at the same time! Ahhhh that would make sense then. Maybe me moving the lever to the middle has kicked the heating in just now as the boiler had fired up for the hot water? Probably on its way out anyway if it is supposed to spring back slowly because it...

eeek I give up lol I just ran my wife a bath and the boiler again fired up to warm the water again as before. This time though it has "kickstarted" the heating again and the radiators are coming back on? Any ideas? Could the zone valve cause this intermitent fault? I will add aswell for...

Thanks Armo74, really appreciated 8) I am guessing by what you have said, the lever on the zone valve should move back to the left when I have moved it over to the right? As though it is on a spring? If so, mine doesnt. It is almost loose if that makes sense. Thanks again mate, really...

Back again lol The central heating has stopped working again so clearly something has an intermitent fault. When I ran a bath just then the boiler fired up afterwards to re-heat the water so I know the boiler is actually working and lit....it just doesnt fire the boiler up for heating when I...

Thanks again for the reply.....I hate to say it, and I am sure you get it all the time but............its working again properly today :oops: :? I guess I should turn the thermostat right down and wait for the house to cool and fire it back up and see what happens......big risk when we have...

Thanks for the replies, really appreciated. Its strange because I have just ran a bath and just as I sat in it I heard the boiler fire up! I guess this was to heat the hot water for the bath. I have now come downstairs and the radiators are on! Looking back, the same thing must have...

Hiya, Thanks for the reply....tbh I wouldnt like to say hand on heart lol Although I do suspect it could be both hot water and heat because it was on earlier.........I suspect heating up the hot water cylinder upstairs, rather than the central heating as the radiators didnt come on. So...

Hiya all, I have an Ideal ICOS condensing boiler (HE12 I think) and I have no Central Heating today :x The boiler is sat in 0 mode but when I request heating via the thermostat the boiler doesnt click on or even look like it has been asked to do anything. Any ideas please? When I...
