    Not sure - have you tried bleeding the radiator?

      Managed to finally get a quote for £250 all in!

      Bleeding radiators is that a cockney euphemism or do they have periods?

        bleeding radiator

        i would suggest bleeding the radiators starting from the nearest one to the boiler and putting some inhibitor in as well.

        That's the extent of my plumbing knwoledge, if you want www.pointingbrickwork.co.uk advice then ask away and I shall answer.

          Unless you have a 'primatic' cylinder in which case it would be dangerous to put inhibitor in the system.
          Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
