    actually they do.

    frequently they blow due to a fault however they can just age or blow during a surge.

    If it's a combi, could be the diverted valve. If it's not a combi then it's the three way valve, or one of the two ways if it's s plan not y plan.

    Have you tried bleeding the radiators?
    The hot water could be in the tank from before the thermo failed.

    Do you have a hot water tank in a jacket in your airing cupboard?

    Hint: If you're not the tidiest of people, mount your garage wall racks near the door, not on the back wall.
