ok thanks will get it changed. why would the pump fail and blow a fuse though? i know they can seize, but to blow a fuse... whats the reason for this?

lol - so there's no real/standard reason why the pump would just start to blow the fuse? just one of those things?

sorry mate feel like an idiot now!!!! just did it and yes the pump works and the fuse did not blow this time!! so the pump is the victim then? why is this-whats the cause out of interest? new pump time?... :oops: :(

thanks for your help. one point though, when you say put the live wire from the pump in a separate termianl block, do you mean the LIVE wire from the pump terminal or the LIVE WIRE from the wiring centre terminal side? Also, do you mean put it in a lose connector block/strip, that is not...

sorry for the gap in replying. thank you all for your help. there doesnt seem to be water around anywhere. will this pump test prove that the pump is failing? why is it blowing the fuses though, i thought usually pumps just seize up and fail?

boiler is potteron flamingo system has header tank in loft 2 floors above. pump and diverter valve are in airing cupbaord in bathroom next to hot water tank. thanks for helping.

thanks for the help-so it could be a filed pump casuing the circuit to overheat? i'll test the pump now and see if it is working correctly and spinning properley. what burner or motor do you mean?

Great site. really good. i've got a problem, don't know if anyone knows the answers or a possible cause to it- the fuse (3amp) to my central heating and hot water circuit has blown. i don't know what caused this... but after putting a new one in, it shortly went again. why is this...
