Ideal mexico 2 issue

[roccovellhung]

Hi, wonder if anybody can help

We have an old Ideal Mexico 2 boiler which I believe is a traditional type, anyway earlier this afternoon I was bleeding a radiator in the bathroom and since then the boiler hasn't fired up, electrics seem ok and pump appears to be working.

This happened a year ago when I previously bled a radiator and the boiler eventually came to life again, not this time however......

Does anybody have any suggestions on what the problem could be and any way to overcome?

EDIT - just tried rebleeding all the radiators and pretty sure I must have an air-lock in the system, some air coming out some of the radiators but no water / gunk at any of them.... if this is indeed the case how do you clear this?

Geez, being a partimer,suggest looking to see if any water in the f&e tank
Try opening the system drain cock, see if any water flows out. Could be the feed blocked from the f&e tank. Dont run the pump dry or you'll nacker it

Probably a blocked Cold Feed pipe. A search should give you all the answers, See the FAQs
