Loads of air in central heating.

No, nothing from overflow at all.

Is the water in the f&e hot when the heating is on?

Is the f&e tank the one in the loft that feeds the cylinder (pipes are at the front of the cylinder in the picture)?

If so, I don't know, it's in the loft and the kids are in bed so I can't currently go up there!

 

[Harvest Fields]

Not the one in the picture. The one in the loft that feeds the boiler

 

[Chris12345678]

That's the one I was meaning. I can't get up in the loft at the moment, kids are in bed and the ladder is under their bed!

I suppose it could be sucking in air via the cylinder vent that goes to the f&e tank?

Nope. Separate circuit

Something about this picture looks funny and I cannot put my finger on it?

There are no valves to separate the heating / central heating circuits.
Does that make a difference?

The system will be gravity. Your hot water that comes out of the taps and the heating water are completely separate mate.

Yes, but there are two pipes coming out of the front of the cylinder that go to the tank in the loft. One is a feed and one is a expansion pipe(?) from the cylinder isn't it? Could it be sucking in air from the expansion pipe(?).

Thanks.

Yes it could. Is the 22mm pipe hot all the way up?
