Hi guys, we have an old style open vented system boiler make glow worm space saver.
As the title says I removed a radiator from the bathroom in order to re-tile , will take a couple of days, so as a temporary measure just connected the in and out feed together. Had to drain down system as the rad valves would not close.
Problems we have had since:
1. Only some radiators worked, bled all of them tried to balance etc..no good.
2. Now when turning up the room stat the boiler only fires up very briefly.
3.we have no hot water.
The pump is working absolutely fine, could the system just need flushing through and if so how do I go about this?
