do you get a good flow of water from the bleed screw
if not maybe a blockage.

You may find that if you put the heating on,your water suffers if it is gravity fed.Is the water performing ok if you have it on water only,as unless you upgrade the system you may have to put it on water only until you are happy and then switch it to c/h once youve got the water you want.
