Boilers fine, heatings not working?

Right well for some reason the heating is not working, i've cranked it up and cranked it up but it's not doing anything.
The boilers fine, tip top condition, just stuck a new fan in and it works lovely.
Hot waters fine.

Anyone know how I should go about the next step (I assume it's the thermostat, but haven't a clue where to start with that) I'm actually so cold I'm considering going for a drive so I can use my cars heaters.

Pump up in the airing cupboard? Should have a little rotary dial on the front you can turn with a 2p, try giving it a turn to see if you get any heating.

This.

Just happened to my dad actually - after the heating being off all summer, the water pump had siezed. It was hot but cold water was going in, with warm water coming out.

As said above, he just turned the little notch more and more until it freed up and it all works fine again now.

Yeah should have mentioned, already bled them, radiators have absolutely no warmth at all.

Can't see the little rotary dial.

That should work a treat.

Have you turned the radiators on?

Whilst hitting said boiler, make sure you shout obscenities.

This is what it has been when I've had this sort of problem in the past.

Took the thermostat off the wall, replaced batteries. It now works, i've been freezing my arse off all day when I could have been warm for the sake of 5 minutes work, gah.

Cheers guys.
