While it's true I'm tired (and a little, erm, refreshed)...
...the powerflush thing doesn't work for me - I've taken rads off and got some sludge out, true, but they still got warm.
Open all rad valves, put the heating on full-bore and bleed all rads. If you get no result then get Mr Plumber in for a look-see.
Beware Plumber's Whistle

Probably your best bet,but make sure he tells you exactly whats wrong and what steps he is taking to put it right,
you might learn something useful,and most importantly let us know

Hope he dosent do the head scratch and the tut tut we need a new boiler and you might as well change the rads while your at it routine
Beware plumbers with brand new vans lol
Ok I'm no expert on combi boilers as they are not as common over here,but if the boiler is blocked then you would not be getting any heat anywhere,
BUT if he will guarantee you that will work and if not will either refund you or find and fix the original problem for the same price,then there's not much to lose,except another day without heat
Is the heat exchanger blocked?
first guy gave up so i never payed him so i called second guy out he had look and we noticed that when we turn hot water on the boiler fires up but boiler does not fire up when heating is onOk I'm no expert on combi boilers as they are not as common over here,but if the boiler is blocked then you would not be getting any heat anywhere,

i been told if its blocked i should not be getting any hot water hot water coming ok
Are you getting any of the rads to warmup
Tbh just reading your first post I would say your pump is gone on the boiler,your rads upstairs are getting warm because heat rises , post the model of the pump on here 2old as you might be able to buy just a normal CH pump and just change the head
they where couple day ago none are working or warming up now. the guy put somthing next to pump i could see it spinning
If boiler does not fire up when the heating is turned on then it has to be some solenoid or switch surely,if the pump is running,
as stated I'm no expert but its a matter of elimination and Jimmyp probably knows more then I do regarding combi's anyway

Dave I just sell I'm no expert lol but it does sound like the pump to me but I might be wrong

You stick to ur oil matey lol
2old are you getting hot water if yes then maybe the divertor valve might be your problem
I thought pumps were magnetically coupled so you can only tell if the motor is rotating, not the impeller?
