We have a dual heating system with a woodburning stove and oil. The stove is relatively new but the pipes and valves are from an older woodburning stove. The system has been working perfectly for the past year. Over the last week we have noticed that the downstairs rads are not heating at all. Also there seems to be a gurgling sound of water coming from the stove. We have 3 Myson motorised valves in a downstairs cupboard near the stove, I'm wondering if one of these could be the problem although all seem to be lighting. Any help appreciated.

Just because the light is on does not mean that the motorised valve is opening.

The gurgling suggests to me the water in your stove is boiling, the pump may have failed and you have a gravity feed heating the upstairs rads. Get a plumber.
