Re-pressurizing a Thorn Olympic 38/50 CF

[rubberjungle]

Hi,

I have the above boiler and need to re-pressurize it. I have looked around as much as possible but have no idea where to do it from.

I recently had someone come and refit a radiator in the house and ever since I have had no heating, there is water in the tank and get hot water through the taps.
I have been trying to bleed the radiators and there is nothing coming out of them (not even air)

any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Chris

It would be unusual for your boiler to be on a sealed system, a more likely problem is a blocked cold feed.

thanks Mick,

Any suggestions as to how to go about sorting that out?

First thing would make sure of the system type, do you have two tanks in the loft?

 

[rubberjungle]

Yes there is a large one and a much smaller one

Has the small tank got water in it? Should be about 1/3rd full (ish).

 

[rubberjungle]

Yes it is about 1/3 full

If you have a fully pumped system it will be blocked like this View media item 39013And if its gravity HW circulation then blocked like this View media item 30811
