I think I've been a double (maybe triple) dickhead.
The system doesn't provide hot water on demand (isn't a combi, now I know (maybe) what that term means).
So, the fact that I didn't get hot water immediately after repressurising it, is in fact expected behaviour.
It's the thermostat on the tank that operates the two port valve in my s plan system.
I just needed to wait for the tank to refill with hot water. Which takes a while (big fucking tank innit?).
The valve is not broken.
I am a twat who has succeeded in wasting his day and annoying a lovely forumenger who was trying to help.
Sorry again @Mr_Sworld.
You could perhaps teach Mr_Sworld how to boss a Rubik's cube in atonement. :)
On the plus side, you'll actually know how your boiler works from now, and in case of any further problems will work it out more easily, so that's all useful.
Meh. I had a Rubik Cube by 1980. Sussed it by 1982.
