yup, water off, find a drain valve, will normally be on a down stairs radiatior, push a hose pipe over it and crack it open, when most of the water is out open the vents on the rads upstairs, they should make a sucking noise, this will make sure all the water is out of the system | |

System is gravity fed too, bleeding from the hot water tank in the cupboard upstairs where theres a pipe coming up from half way up the tank with a bleed point at the top | |

Theres a bleed point at the tank which il try a few times, havent seen any of the air vents though | |

if its a gravity system its very very likely to be an air lock | |

Diverter Valve - exactly the same happened on my Glowworm - it was repaired under warranty as a known fault!!! | |

Just found out from my Mum this has happened ever since the hot water tank was drained so must be an air lock | |

Iv bled the tank incase it was airlock. Getting hot water but itz likely from the immersion heater being on earlier. Will investigate further in the morning | |

When turning on the hot water tap theres only cold water coming through, although heating works fine so boilers ok |
