Hello everybody. I have used this fantastic website many times and saved myself many callout charges, just from mining the forums for information and advice. However, I have run out of ideas and therefore need to post my problem. I have 2 radiators in the living room, both the furthest away from the boiler. It is a simple open vented system. The 2 radiators are cold. I have done the following: put cleaner in the system followed by inhibitor, rebalanced the system, taken off both radiators and flushed them with a hosepipe. Turned all radiators off but the 2 in question - still not working. The frustrating thing is they worked really well for a day when I first flushed them but now nothing. The water is hot to the inlet pipe to the radiator but will just not flow into the rad - but I have flushed it out!! What could be the problem? A blockage in the return pipe? If so, how can I flush the pipes without damaging the system? As an aside, I have turned the pump from 1 to 2 and it just forces hot water up the exansion pipe and heats the expansion tank nicely! Does this also suggest a blockage somewhere?
Please help as my wife is putting me under pressure to call a plumber out and admit defeat!
Many thanks in advance, Dave1000.
