The pump. Fitted the new one today and it's going like a good 'un - although I appreciate it's not set up properly. I have a number for a local guy and will contact him this weekend. A BIG thank you to everybody who took the time to contribute to this thread, especially Cider for identifying...

I get about a bit ! :D

Thanks, I will consult the site, as you suggest. I have a good flow of oil to the pump so I'll change the nozzle first and then accept my limitations. Here's to tomorrow ! Regards Barleycott.

I have a new pump and nozzle on order and hopefuly I will have them delivered tomorrow. I appreciate that the pump has to be correctly set up and I do not have the equipment for this, so in the first instance I will try and replicate the settings on the old one. Can any one recommend an...

The burner is a Bentone Inter B9. I will try and get hold of a PE cell today, in the first instance. Regards Barleycott

Thank you Guys, Clearly I have underestimated the complexities of the ignition sequence ! I thought I would have had a warm house by tomorrow night - but no ! Thank you so far.

Thank you Burnerman for your speedy reply. What is the ignition sequence for an oil burner of this type ? Barleycott.

Hello there, Thanks for reading this - As the title suggests, I have a Trianco TRO 15/19 oil fired boiler, which has currently stopped working. In the days leading up to the breakdown, I noted it was a bit smelly, like parafin and I put that down to the fact I had cracked a joint on the flue...
