Moved into my first home with fiancee 3 weeks back after 30 years of living with parents
Trying to make it feel like home - but am already having problems with the heating and been pointed here for some advice.
Not sure if it will help - but I will post some pictures of what I see to be the main parts of the system
The timer unit - took some figuring out but was given an explanation over at the avforums of all places and think have it sussed

I then have this - which I have been informed is a Honeywell 3 port valve

and then in the kitchen I have this ...

I have a few problems and maybe someone can help
(1) Everytime we put the water on to heat up the radiators come on - not a huge problem in these cold months but can see it being a problem next summer. In fact the only way the radiators will heat up is to turn the water on. Pressing the heating button does not seem to do anything
(2) Had problem getting downstairs radiators working. Me Dad found a thing near to the valve near the tank and after turning it two of the 3 downstairs radiators come on and work fine.
However the third one in front room does not heat up - the pipes to it get warm but only to about 3 quarters of the way down - then the pipe seems cold and no heat comes of the radiator.
Dad has bled them all and made sure that the valve is open
Any help will be more than gratefully recived
