it looks to me like you might be in luck. (though not with your choice of digital camera)

I think these are the flow and return pipes to the old boiler wich have been caped off using manual air vents.

when the system cools down, try unscrewing both valve caps anti clockwise (slowly).

If water comes out I'd say things are looking more in your favour.

If it's a sealed system a small volume of water is unlikely to make any difference but i'd suggest you check the pressure on the boiler/ heating system pressure guage after doing this.

cool thanks i know water comes out so it should be ok just needed some one else to think how i was thanks

beter check the boiler heat output is high enough to cope with another rad, that the pump can cope and if its a sealed system, that the expansion vessel is large enough to cope with the increased water volume.

whats the current boiler

how big is the house

okthe boiler is a electronic potterton netaheat


size of house is a 3 bed room semi

we have fitted a new pump about 1month ago and a 3 port valve and control stuff so the pump should be up for the job
