If you can bend the pipe back without breaking it, then do so...the whole sucking air thing (If it is) would be caused by a blockage in the feed pipe (Probably) . The Scruff will tell you how to test for it with a glass of water held over the end of the expansion pipe (I Can't remember whether you try It from system cold, then switch on the heating, or System hot switch off the heating...
