Hi guys i have a customer who just moved into the property and the boiler settings for heating and water were on low. When she turned them up the expansion vessel and prv started leaking water. I ordered new parts and changed both they are now working fine. Turned heating on to maximum but radiators won't heat up properly. Had them all boiling individually but they won't stay piping hot all at once. Tried balancing them and they are then just Luke warm. The radiator in the kitchen is teed into the bathroom one in 10mm pipe which is obviously a problem but even if both those rads are turned off the others in the house don't all get hot at the same time. Do you think the pump is going and needs to be changed or do you think the pipework is problematic through house. She does not have a lot of money after buying house and I'm trying to advise her the best i can. I am not long qualified so any help would be appreciated. Radiators are old and i guess there could also be a sludge issue but they do heat up at the bottom when on individually so i think the problem is more than just this.
