Now the bioler only comes on for a few seconds then turns off, also what lookes like a pump in the airing cupboard is making an awful sound

turn off heating at mains,then bleed down stairs rad first then go and do the ones up stairs till water comes out of each one ifyou have a combi boiler keep an eye onthe gauge so it dose not drop below 1 bar .but if it is tank fed no problem when allrads have been bled go to tank in airing cubourd there should be a small bleed valve by storage tank open it let out some water ,then go and turn on heating back on .should be ok.

Hi Peter, A radiater will not suck air in as it is under pressure, so when you bleed it, the air is pushed out.
It sounds to me as if your pump has a problem, and therefore not giving you the pressure you need.
