Central heating problem

grahamo · 2007-03-15 09:56:28

Hi, Maybe someone would be good enough to give me some advice. My central heating boiler has started to make a bubbling noise when its switched on. The pressure is 1 bar which seems right. I've bled all the radiators and there all fine. Its obviously an airlock but how do I get rid of it?

You may have something called kettling which happens in the heatexchanger of older (more than 10 years) gas boilers. Not serious but inefficient.
