Hi all,
I have spent the morning googling and searching this forum for the answers to my problems, rather than high jack another similar thread (which does not help me) I thought best to post up fresh.
I have a block in my central heating some where which means that the boiler starts and then stops.
I had the same issue before which cost a fortune for a plumber to come out and try to clear the blockage by backfilling, this solved the problem, in that the heating worked but it did not clear the blockage (mains did not rush into the header tank)
Another issue is that the timer only works if it is in factory set mode (timer setting after reset) so I am not able to adjust the ch or hw timing to suite, if I do change them then nothing happens at all!
I also bled the radiators this morning and since then the boiler won't work, I don't understand where the water went, if the plumber back filled the system so essentially the system was full again and now it's not where is the water going? It's almost as if there is no water in the system at all instead of a block!
I've opened the thumb wheels on the bleed pipes in the loft but nothing happened, no air, no water. I've also checked the radiators again in on some of them I can take the bleed screw out and barely any water comes out in other the water rushes out.
Can anybody put these symptoms together an come up with a long term fix? I'm pretty handy at this sort of stuff and really can't afford to get anyone in. Perhaps if someone can explain how to backfill the system this will at least get my heating going again and get me through Christmas..
Thanks James
