Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me.
We had a leak in the summer from a ruptured joint in a pipe feeding the radiators in the living room, and since then neither of these radiators has heated up very well, though one more than the other. I\\\'ve got hot water at the input valve, drained the radiator and have water flowing back into the radiator from the exit valve, so no apparant blockages.
Over the last 2 days, the boiler has started banging madly (Pump is mounted on top of it), water is very hot, so I replaced the temp sensor thing on the hot water tank, but to no effect. It\\\'s as if the boiler is boiling the water so the pump is then trying to push bubbles around. Banging stops as soon as boiler stops heating.
Have I got a blockage causing all my problems. Any idea on what to do next? When I drained the radiator previously, the water was very black.
Thanks for any help that anyone can offer!!
