Its definitely turned on.
I have bled it but no air came out, only water (clear water, not full of crap).
Been having problems at home with my central heating, sticking 3 way valve, British Gas chap came out to change the valve and told me that my system was gummed up with sludge and for the princely sum of £600 it could be cleaned. The water from the rad drain/bleed points very clean.
Not that he suggested anything but I have bought ‘fernox’ poured it in the tank in the attic and let it run around the system for a few weeks, the water that first came out was brown/black with lots of grit in it, I have flushed the system a few times and still the water is brown but getting clearer. Plan some inhibitor for the New Year after a few more flushes
Three of the radiators that never really got piping hot are as hot as the others.
Hope this helps
