Swapped the mid position vale and it will now not fill back up.

The odd thing is the header tank did not drain off - it was still full
when I went to turn the water on.


Suggestions?

Airlock.

No CH when I was a kid, but a routine at home every time a hot water
tap washer had to be changed was to connect a hose between hot and cold
water taps in the bathroom, and turn both on.

+1,

except that both those taps would be fed from the same tank so should
have equal pressure.

Connecting the kitchen cold tap fed from incoming mains to a hot tap
would be more like it.

Doesn't work with the header tank, though.
