hi
thanks Paul , i have checked loft tanks and they are both full, y=the sounds in the pipe stop when the hot water valve closes
 
Check that your motorised valves are operating. Turn cylinder stat up when your in airing cupboard with heating off. If boiler fires, pump runs etc. Feel the two pipes coming out of your cylinder. Top one should get hot first.

If nothing happens I would look at changing your syncron motor.
