Please can someone help? I will start off with, about 2 weeks ago we removed the kitchen rad for refurb. The hot water on the Baxi Bermuda was working at the time. We replaced the rad, and we could hear it filling. We then, for the first time this year selected central heating from the controller upstairs. Nothing happened and we made note that the changeover valve wasn't sliding to the mid position. Ordered a new one (including a new 3 port) While waiting, we noticed the hot water wasn't getting hot. The pump was making awful noises so we bought a new one. Fitted the new motorised valve. When we changed the pump, we didnt drain down the whole system. We tied up the ballcock in the larger tank in the loft, then turned on the hot water taps and left to drain. Changed the pump which whirred into life no problem, all wiring correct.
Released the ballcock and we could hear the tank re-filling.
We switched on the hot water and heating, changeover went to mid position and pump whirred into life. 20 seconds later the back boiler stopped and there was "boiling sounds coming from the tank behind boiler. Now, we can only make the boiler fire up by turning it to max, but it only runs for a few seconds. We bled all rads, to discover we are only getting water out of the two downstairs ones, there is nothing coming out of all the upstairs ones. So, the boiler is not firing up from the switch upstairs now and we don't seem to have any pressure in the radiators upstairs.
Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks
