Ok. Oops. Ive been periodically turning the hot tap on and venting. Only venting after the pump has stopped running though.

I'll the run heating turned down tomorrow. I didn't want to run the heating at this hour on a Sunday night in case all the repairs I've made leaked when running. Haha.
All but one are ok at the moment, (the rad tail I mentioned earlier) whilst the system is filled, but not running hot.

Will I have done something detrimental by running hot water?
I've only run it around three times, probably less than a minute on each occasion. The digital temperature gauge did read around 10c - 15C higher what the dial is set at. But at least it's not jumping up to 90C+ now.
Thanks again everyone
 
Good Morning.
Are you all fed up with me yet?

Update. As you know, last night I fired up the boiler after re-filling the system following some repairs I had made...
Actually I spare you all the details, I perhaps give to much

Long story short. I've got the central heating system running low temp. I've set the dial at 40C and that is round about where the boiler is keeping the temperature. As indicated by the digital display.
However, the hot water has been used, (not whilst the central heating was running though) and the temperature on the digital display showed a rise up to 60C, but importantly the dial was only set at 42C.
Should I be worried about this?
I don't remember it doing this before the system was emptied. All though I can't be certain.
I have vented the pump and heat exchanger automatic air vent on top of the boiler. And vented all the rads a third time.

Thanks again everyone.
