Recently moved in to a property with an open vented system, that has not been serviced for at least 5 years.
Boiler is a potterton Kingfisher 2. Some of the rads are a bit rusty, and when the pump kicks in there are blubble sounds. One rad downstairs is 2/3 cold, 1/3 hot. I am thinking gas in the system, probably from the rusty rads.
We are planning on replacing the system in the next 2 - 3 years.
but in the meantime, should I bleed the rads, or work on the principle of 'if it ain't broke don't fix it'?
If I do bleed it, do I need to re-introduce more water into the system somehow?
many thanks.
