Noisy pipes

[clf-gas]

You've also found the leak by the sounds of it

bleed the air out until water runs, use a rag or a towel.

No, the boiler is wall mounted inside a unit so cant really see that much, apart from a puddle on my work surface.
Its only when I turned the tap though?

AND just tried to bleed my ensuite n bedroom radiators, they both are not leaking any air, just cold water, and theyre not heating up, yet the rest of the radiators are now full blast.

Do you think I need a plumber?

is one of the pipes at the bottom getting warm.

 

[Zoemon]

The pipes arent hot in either.

 

[clf-gas]

sounds like you've got an air lock some where between 2nd and 3rd floor, you may well need a plumber, ask him/her to check where leak came from in boiler, and that the pressure guage is working.

sometimes u get a leak form the filling loop wen filling a system .. it should stop wen u stop filling the system .

 

[clf-gas]

came from inside the boiler.

i felt lonely and wanted to join in .. lol

I'm leaving myself open to attack here (although I've never claimed to know anything about boilers, Water regs being my strongest field)

My combi has a removeable plug that has to be wedged in before turning the filling tap. Could this be the cause of the water dripping out (or is it just a straight tap on the glow worm?

2 different boilers .. worster are internal . ideal external..

 

[BoxBasher]

Surely there is some form of interruption in the pipe in order for it to be Water Regs compliant?

What arrangement is there on a glow worm? (not questioning you, just for my own reference)

 

[2face]

yes there is a removable key .. so it is not permanantly fitted.
