Help with back boiler issue

[b21playa]

What back boiler you got? Thinking overheat stat issues probs not got an o/h stat

Baxi Bermuda 50/4e

Think it's a water issue, as tried to drain pump and no water came out (from bleed screw or drain plug)

Its undoubtedly a water issue i was just thinking of a safety issue

Thought I'd post an update

Cut the cold feed, bailed out water from f&e tank and washed the inside and vac'd it up with my wet&dry. Here's a pic of the crap that came out

Found a drain valve passing water, this is why

System finally filled up and running, still took forever for heating to warm up after bleeding. Going to put some cleaner in, and let it run for a week before draining and adding inhibitor.

Opened bleed screw on pump and water dribbled out very very slowly, still think there's air in system or a blockage. Got a small leak on pump gate valve as well, think rubber o-ring has gone

Was thinking of hiring a power flush machine to clear out the system, or refilling and draining a few times, any suggestions?

Am I able to add a magnetic filter, if so where is best?

Thanks
