I know the advice is good Gav, I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing cos I need to take all the foam padding off the pipes to check it.........I've checked the pipes in the cupboard and all are good

I'll check the feed pipe tomorrow, but when I refilled the system a few weeks ago there were no issues, surely the issue with the feed pipe would have shown up them and ended up with the system not refilling

So...the boiler is an Ideal Classic, probably about 12 years old, I've tried to attached some pics but the file won't load. There is a white 3 way unit if that helps....... I'm not a central heating technician so all suggestions welcome however I don't believe it's the thermostat. I've just...

Oh, and the boiler was serviced 2 months ago (not sure if they check the thermostat when servicing)

The boiler is an Ideal (not sure what model) I'm at work just now, I'll post pictures of the pump & valves as well as boiler make/model when I get home. I suggested the thermostat but the engineer that came out said that wouldn't cause the gurgling in the rads

Yes, the water is coming from the vent pipe into the header tank.....There is a pipe in the cupboard with the pump in it which is usually cool but when it's back filling, it's roasting hot.... The noise definitely isn't vibrations, the whole house sounds as if it's about to explode if I don't...

The header tank has about 4" in it however the ballcock is stuck (the water continues to come out even when the tank is full, I've had to switch off the water at the tap and manually fill for the time being) However as I said, the water level looks good...........I'll upload a picture of my pump...

I emptied the system around 3 weeks ago....I had the same issue around 2yrs ago which is why the pump was changed (the engineer said this was the problem). It only happens in winter, during the summer months both the heating and water is OK. This recent issue started about 4-5 weeks ago...

Hi all, I'm struggling with my central heating........I've had 2 "professionals" out but still have issues...... I have a hot water tank in the cupboard upstairs, header tank in the loft and the boiler in the kitchen downstairs. When the heating is on for a few hours I get a loud...

I'm not sure what you mean by this..............The pump is in my airing cupboard upstairs..there is not hot pipes at all near the pump so I don't think it's pumping at all....

I thought I was bleeding the pump but nothing was coming out (air or dirty water) I tried to look inside the pump and it looks like it's spinning but it's roasting hot...............time for a plumber me thinks !!!

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly ........ however I don't know what the 3 way valve is or what it looks likes or how to switch it.

Yip, done it, I can hear as if the heating is on but still no joy.

I've had a full bathroom instal done however I now have no central heating.....Firstly the overflow valve at the outside of the house was open so when the water was turned on in my tank in the loft it went straight through the full system and all ran out. Subsequently I had air in every single...
