radiator & lack of water

[houstonwehaveaproblem]

In our attic which has been partly converted by someone in the past, there is a radiator which has fallen off the wall brackets and been sat on the floor for ages. the 8mm pipe that goes into it is crushed. Got round to looking at it and the pipework came off and no water came out? Now I know that this radiator has been working in the past im sure but im a bit confused why the pipework is dry and there is no water in the rad? We havent touched it since we moved in

Umm any ideas. Thanks

and the first question is whats the pressure on the gauge

the second is how high is the rad above the boiler

It might be an idea to get a RGI in to check the whole system over. It sounds like a proper cowboy job.

Hi guys

The gauge reading is on 2. The rad in question is above the bolier by about 2 feet i guess

The boiler is a Sime super 102 deluxe if that helps
