Funny noise from radiator, Help Please.

The boiler has been in for about 2 years, so i assume it is new, the boiler is going ok, it came on this morning and the downstairs heaters all heated up ok, shall try turning the boiler off when i get home (after looking at the manual, just in case)

Thanks everyone.

If just the downstairs radiators are working sounds like your pump is defective and the system is gravity feeding the radiators that are on,but needs the pump to work the whole system

We have started to think that we may have run out of water in the water tank? Does this sound plausible.

ball-valve may have stuck in the closed position

Thanks everyone, i am off work tommorow, so i will get a chance to look at the roofspace bits and peices. Expect a lot of posts from me tommorow

Never met a more helpful bunch of people on the internet, thanks for everything, hopefuly i will be able to help some people in the computer section of the site.

We have now noticed that there is no pressure in the system, looks like we need someone who knows about this stuff to look at it for us.

Thanks again everyone.

Yep got it sorted. I shouldnt have bled the radiators and there was a water leak, had someone come out they represurised the system and fix the leak. So all warm in the house now.

Thanks again everyone for you help.

You said that you have had the system repressurised.
Does this mean that you have a Combi condensing boiler with a pressure gauge?
I only ask because I guess most people had assumed it was a conventional system.
The Combi systems generally have to have the pressure kept at a minimum of 1bar, and include a filling loop to top up the water when the pressure drops.

Pleased to here its sorted now.
