Hi all - hoping you can help with a strange issue.. which, if i'm honest, may be something simple and I'm just totally missing!

So since the weather has got a bit colder, i've had my central heating on with no issues.. then suddenly I've stopped getting ANY central heating, while the hot water is fine. I've had a couple of short power cuts.... im not sure if that may have tripped anything and might have caused this?!

I've checked the pressure, which seems to have dropped to 0.5 bar, so i've attached the filling loop and opened both valves.... but there's no water flow at all! I'm not sure if the low pressure might be causing the initial issue.. but I guess i should get it back up to ~1.5 bar either way!

I've checked (but not opened) the pump.. that seems okay.. it's vibrating and gets warm.

I've also tried leaving the heating zone valve manually open (at least, I'm assuming it's open when i put the lever in the middle? As far as it'll go...)

Thermostat is all setup fine as well.... so...... i'm a bit stumped!

One thing that someone has mentioned, is that the expansion vessel might need re-pressurising? Would that be the reason the filling loop is doing nothing?!

I'm no expert, so I don't really want to start messing around with valves that i'm not 100% sure of....

Would appreciate any help!

Cheers! :bucktooth:
