What? Is it a sealed system or gravity fed?

That's what he asked originally?? - I guess what could have been missed was an 'or' but I certainly got it

@Bobbymost - you haven't answered the original question in the other post - if the system is sealed then it'll usually have a pressure gauge where the red expansion vessel and filling loop are located, normally in the same space as the hot water cylinder.
If it's open vent - then there'll be small black cistern - usually located in the attic - that should have water in it. If it has this then it won't have a pressure gauge.

Yep, sorry - I missed the 'or'..
Yes there is a black cistern. I didnt answer the original question because i was not at home.That's what he asked originally?? - I guess what could have been missed was an 'or' but I certainly got it

Gravity Fed
Its not a duplicate thread it's two different questions. Don't police the thread there is no need and it confuses things.Boiler working, Pump Working, Actuator working but No Heat or Water. Can anyone help?

Starting two threads, on the same issue, confuses things....
Find out whether you have 2x 2-port valves, or 1x 3-port valves in your system - likely near where your cylinder is located, in your airing cupboard, and report back.
Often the valve actuators can jam/fail, or etc.. Until the valve(s) move to the correct position, it will not provide central heating.
The sequence of signalling, via the wiring, to run the central heating, is...
Time-clock > room thermostat > valve > boiler. The circulating pump, can be triggered, by either the valve, at the same time as the boiler, or directly by the boiler itself.
