Rob, When the heating clicks off there is about half a cup of water coming back into the F&E tank. I suspect its been doing that for the 6 years that I've been in the house. So Im thinking its 'ok' now forget about it ? I posted something about a problem that was and is still annoying me a...

Cheers Guys, all sorted now. Im 100% sure it was the return pipe missing the tank that was causing the issue. Fully functional again now no leaks, just needs to dry out now. Many thanks, much appreciated, Merry christmas & a Happy New Year Steve.

Thanks, This is all excellent help, much appreciated mate. Lots for me to check (i've had a gut full of it today lol) Will check it all out tomorrow and get back to you. Cheers, Steve.

Thanks for getting back to me. Its the small tank, heating fill and expantion. Ive' been watching it and I think it spat a little bit out when the heating clicked off, that sound normal ??

Can anyone please tell me how much/often do you get anything out of the return to tank pipe ? The reason I ask is I've just had/found a big leak in my loft. The area under the loft tanks was flooded and the ceiling under it was on the verge of coming down !! The area of the ceiling...

JohnD, I checked the F&E tank, no pumping over or sucking air. Whats next mate ?? Cheers Steve.

Jimbo, Very little air at AV, plenty of water. Made no difference after bleeding. Any ideas ?? Cheers, Steve.

JohnD, Yeh I bled the vent pipe, hardly any air came out, loads of water. F&E tank - level ok, not much sediment in bottom (3mm) well below outlet, have not checked if pumping over or sucking (will check tomorrow). No balance valve on pipes to cylinder coil, when cylinder is up to temp, the...

JohnD, I've only got 1 TRV on the living room rad which is set on max, the noise is there when the boiler is heating the hot water or heating or both. I dont understand why the air doesn't end up in the rads ? Some times the pump gets really noisey when the air gets stuck in that area, I...

Guys ??????? Dont dessert me now in my hour of need :) Any more ideas ?? Cheers Steve.

I dont think its a condensing boiler ? Its a Stelrad Group Ideal WLx if that means anything to any of you ? I have tried the AV pipe by the hot water cylinder, and got the fountain that you mentioned :) !! not much air came out but plenty of water. Should I open that and let some water out...

Hi chaps, I bled the highest rad, there was a constant flow of clear water, ran it for approx 30 seconds (not sure if that was long enough ?), did not die off. I checked the F&E tank in the loft, there was some mud in the bottom but only about 3mm deep, well below the outlet. The mud was...

Thanks for getting back to me guys. By 'conventional system' I mean it has a boiler, hot water tank, tank in the loft with a ball valve etc etc. When I bled the rads, the system was off, hardly any air in any of them. Today i tried the system with just the hot water on and then just the...
