Rads need constant airing - possible knock on to Rayburn?
3 Answers
Everything was fine (for years) until recently. Now rads need constant airing and....I'm not sure if its connected, but, Rayburn burner won't fire up unless pump is switched on (has also now stopped heating hot water altogether).
We have 2 tanks in loft - one big, one small. Someone suggested airing big one but I don't know how. There is a value with open/closed on it - what should it be switched to?

Check the water level in the small tank as the ball valve can seize closed due to little use. If the water level is down and the ball valve arm horizontal i.e. well above water, the valve is stuck. Gentle movement may free it otherwise you may need to consider replacing valve.
