Any Help????
This has foxed me, but maybe there is a simple explanation out there?

Went to a job concerning a HW tap on a bath/shower mixer. The hot tap ran and then ran out of water. Air lock I thought....... simple.

Except that the boiler is a combi. So mains pressure. Boiler is a very badly fitted Saunier Duval 623 (I avoid these) The bottom of the boiler is accessed by a 30cm high door at the top of the wall above the bath. The rest of the boiler is accessed via a crawl space in the loft.

I did attempt the solve it by pushing the cold main back up the hot and opened the sink tap to let out the water, no joy.

It only happens with this tap so I suggested it could be a problem with the tap and I wanted to remove the supply from the tap to prove my point but access under the bath was ridiculous also.

Anyone else come across anything similar?

I look forward to your thoughts (or even comments on how crap 623's are)

Cheers

Is the bath tap connected to a braided flexible, perchance?
