 Lack of hot water. Air lock? - Bazzabear
I fitted the thermostatic cartridge. I'm getting no water at all out of the shower currently - I'm working on the hypothesis that there being no hot water supply to the shower is stopping it letting any water through at all.
I have no hot water coming from any tap at all in the house.

I have just tried a trick which I read about elsewhere - trying to force through any airlocks with the cold water mains pressure by covering the end of the kitchen mixer tap, turning on the hot, then the cold, so the cold water supply is forced through the hot water system.
But I sat there with my hand over it for a good minute or two, and the water continued to audibly run through the tap. How long does such a method usually take?
