Radiators upstairs have no water in them....

[Chris3107]

hi there, please help me, i am a novice so please excuse the simple terms..
last few days my towel radiator in bathroom closest to cylinder cupboard i have had to bleed a little as no water on the top towel rail...
now yesterday, happened again except this time no water coming out at all, pans out my other 3 radiators upstairs also have no or little water in them....
checked upstairs and the small tank is half full with water, with the larger water tank as per normal...
i turn the boiler just for water and it fires up but then after 5 mins comes off....
so stuck at the moment about where the problem lies... but no water is coming from the loft tanks to refill the radiators, checked my magna clean also yesterday and that was nearly empty..
any help or advice would be greatly appreciated...
thank you in advance

Might be worth you having a look at Boiler & Centrol heating FAQs number 12. With water in the F&E tank but not getting any water out of your rads, I be thinking blockage, expect you are too.

thanks for your comments and advice, just had neighbour round and it was the red handled open/close valve coming down from the small tank to the pump/magna cleanse it was just stuck/blocked when turning on or off, so replaced it and touch wood we are good, thank you again, appreciate it.
