Just after a bit of advice.

have a main 15he conventional boiler that at the point the pump switches off you get a trickle of water for about 2 seconds in the header tank.

F an E are in correct place with air jec but its about waist height in the airing cupboard. was going to combine the F and E, but wasn't quite sure why its doing it when pump stops.
 
Does the port valves shut at the same time ?
 
It has a 3 port so always open to something.

Just as a try leave 3 port on manual heating does it do it then

Could be the way it's piped tho how's vent,feed and pump piped ?
 
Could be a restriction in the airjec, they're prone to blocking up.
 
yea still does it. if you leave on heating and just interrupt the power!

yea was going to remove the airjec and combine the F and E
 
How high is the vent above the F&E tank? Could be a partial blockage in the airjec
