There are 2 blue levers to act as a double safety procedure. If there was one, there is a slight chance it may pass water over time. The 2nd one just acts as another safe guard. The plumber who topped it up last time must have just turned the one off.

ok cheers so that not the cause of the bumping ? then... 2 rads i bled had quite a bit of air in them so would that be the only cause you think

If bleeding them doesn’t help, one of the thermostatic valve heads maybe the problem.
If it happens again, hold the TRV on the radiator that’s making the bumping noise.
If that stops it, you may need to replace the valve head. In this case, if you buy like for like, then it will be a straight swap over without having to drain the system.

in my experience of CH systems, the plumber would have drained the system down to fit the new rad, filled it back up and air would have been working its way around the system ( thus you had bleed the 2 rads )

Have you thought about entering the plumbing photograher of the year award? Your snaps are rather impressive :thumbup:
Re: Boiler/plumber advice...
One possibility is that on the new rad the TRV may have been fitted on the return side. Not a certainty but just a maybe.
