Plumbing Question

Check DaveB's suggestion first, it takes some effort, but it's worth it. I would also test the top floor bathroom and run that since an airlock higher up the water system can cause all sorts of grief.

It's worth opening the taps at the top and running the ones in your main bathroom for some time. If it's an airlock which seems quite likely you need to shift that damn thing until it effectively gets pushed out of an open tap. You might need to run the taps for quite a while 30+ mins isn't unusual.

Obviously check the water feeds 1st as per my previous post.

I've had this sort of problem recently, had a bad case of water hammer. It was caused by a faulty ball valve in the cold water header tank.

Fortunately if you know how to use a spanner and nip to B&Q it's a trivial thing to fix (obviously turn the water off at the stopcock 1st before attempting the repair).

Dishwasher was leaking once.

Under the kitchen sink was 2 taps. Red and Blue. Turned both off.

Pulled out dishwasher.
Got a large pair of very sharp scissors and cut the cold water pipe off.

Oh dear.

Flooded the kitchen, part of the lounge, flooded the kitchen of the flat below.

I finally had to point the cut hose out of the window for 30 mins, whilst holding it (due to pressure), soaking wet, with 18 towels on the floor, whilst Mrs BGG tried to find another cut off valve.

She did...there was a second one at the end of the hose I was holding.

I had a similar problem, except it was affecting all water outlets. It urns out i have knock the task stat up when I was in there, which caused the water to get a LOT hotter and trap more air in the systems. I turned the water temp back to 60-65 and bled the system. problem solved
