    Pressure and temp from your 'this morning' picture seem to indicate that the boiler is working.

    Is it a combi boiler?

    With a combi boiler you have no hot water cylinder for the storage of hot water. With a combi, hot water is supplied on demand, i.e. cold water is heated by the boiler as you need it much like an electric shower.

    I do have a hot water cylinder but I think the water is heated down stairs. Does that make sense?

    If the water in your hot water cylinder is cold can you still get hot water instantly?

    There is a switch upstairs for sink/bath. I assume that's so
    You don't have to
    Turn on the boiler

    Have you tried bleeding the upstairs rad's? If the pressure dropped to nothing, .2 bar, it could have drained the upstair's system.

    Lads thanks for your help.

    I took the two,port valve off. Gave it a little elbow grease. Put the actuator back on and work grand now.
