Consider it done. Thanks again for all your help and sticking with me.

Sorry Davy, just spotted your last message. Do you think a fully sealed system would solve this problem in the long term. Boiler pressure is up about 1.2 now and the house is already starting to heat up. Is the fully sealed system a retro fit ? Could you suggest a rough guestimate of what...

Davy, excellent work. I forced the red turn screw and the gushing sound and the needle shot up. I cannot beleive how simple the solution was and how much you have saved my pocket and ear ache from the good lady. Thank you so much for all your help. I will keep an eye on the other issues...

Excellent, will give it a go. Assuming that is all I need to do ? Full turn, watch the pressure increase on needle in boiler and close again ?

No, same as. A qtr turn either way. Its currently closed (?) in a clockwise position and when I attempt to open it its only a qtr turn anti-clockwise. There is a second (thicker) pipe leading directly from the bottom side of the tank also has a red turn screw valve which gives a number of...

Thanks Davy for the replies. I didn't want to force the screw valve but it seems to stop at the qtr turn. This was in an anti-clockwise direction. Have bled all the rads and water is now coming out of all of them, one or two were airlocked and are now heating, but the others that weren't...

Thanks DGOBS, do you think the system would be badly scaled or sludged in such a short space of time (3 years). The water is not hard in this area (so I've been told), but I also cannot confirm that the system was flushed after install and before moving in. I should have confirmed, but didn't...

There is a smaller (width) pipe that runs from the attic around the side of the hot tank and joins to a pipe that is vertical with what looks like a pressure release that you would see on an old pressure cooker our parents might have had. This pipe is cold to the point where the red screw valve...

Boiler installed with new house build in early 2006. Had Bord Gais out when we moved in and they gave it the all clear. Also had them out mid last year to service the boiler and got the alll clear. I have two water tanks in the attic of equal size. Should I be worried ??????

My heating is acting up and I don't know where to start. Heating system: Baxi System 35/80 IE Two water tanks in the attic. The pressure is constantly up and down from 0.2 to 0.5. It sounds like something that should be taking off at an airport and some (not all) radiators heat up. Does...
