Hi all
I am a complete amateur trying to get my central heating going again.
I reattached an old radiator, bled it and all seemed fine then I
noticed that the downstairs radiators were all cold. Upstairs were
lukwarm all of a sudden.
I assumed an airlock but could not find air in any of the rads. Then
I looked in the attic and found that header tank was empty (and dry).
Fixed valve on stop cock and that seems to be ok now.
I ssumed system airlock. We don't seem to have a bleed valve on the
system in this house so I drained it down and refilled it bleeding
all downstairs and then upstairs.
Now when switched central heating on again, the water does not seem
to flow and boiler does not fully ignite (pilot only).
Can anyone detect anything screamingly obvious that I have neglected
to do?
Pump is definitely working by the way.

With little or no flow, the boiler may have overheated and tripped out on
its over-heat stat if it has one. This has to be manually reset by
pressing
a button before the boiler will fire again. Your boiler User Handbook
should
explain it.
