Everyone you’re all being amazing with all these ideas. I appreciate it a lot. I’ve actually had to go to my parents for a few days a couple of hours away so can’t do any of this for the time being. (at least their heating works, unless im a bad omen!)
im also convinced it’s probably the blending valve.
in answer to other questions here:
- yes that switch is for the immersion heater.
- yes the upstairs is on a separate manifold, just fed from the same boiler.
- yes that is a brass air vent and there’s only water that comes out of that.
