Hi my name is Brian, I have been in the Plumbing & Heating trade for approximately 15 years, lets see if i can help. Have you tried bleeding the radiators if not can you with the boiler switched off please
JACUSTOMER-9kckyrvt- :
I have bled them and all bled with no air i did this when the boiler was off
emianplumbing :
When the boiler is on and the radiators that get hot are hot, are the pipes to the other radiator valves warm
JACUSTOMER-9kckyrvt- :
No theyre not warm

VerifiedHi I am Rick, UK Plumber, and I specialize on Boiler problems, almost certainly your pump has failed, this is usually in the airing cupboard on the pipes near the hot cylinder, it is a round lump the size of a small flower pot usually red or blue with a wire going to it and a speed switch on the flat part, once you have located it, if you can give me the name I can follow further, Rick
