As you can see I am new to this so please forgive me if I am asking the wrong question in the wrong area.
Problem:-
I have recently bought a 1970's house with oil fired central heating and and struggling to get to grips with it. After finally getting it to run ok I then managed to stupidly split into a radiator pipe while redoing the bathroom causing the system to totally drain. I obviously turned the central heating off at the electrics while I dealt with the hole and then turned the heating back on at the wall.
The problem i've got is that after turning it back on the only sign of life out of the central heating is that the motorised valve on the airing cupboard clicks loudly every 2-3 seconds.
There is water in the header tank in the loft
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I don't know my a**e from my elbow when it comes to central heating.
