    havent seen this particular prob posted (AFAIK) hence new thread.


    mains on again, attic tank full, but cold water taps in tank fed bathroom giving a very weak flow.(hot taps fine)

    however as they do give some flow, the pipes cant be airlocked or frozen. (I assume)

    so what gives? mains pressure not back to normal?

    To the to OP's above. Its an airlock you have. Search a few threads here there are plenty of them that tell you how to clear an airlock.
