Is there an extraction fan in there? If not, it needs one to be fitted.

We do have lots of red kites, almost always one circling on the breeze above. The pigeons appear to be making their way, between roof and panels, which might be a tight space for the larger kite.

If it fails that test, then a replacement actuator head, is available here and several more places. Shop around... https://www.plumb4less.ie/products/sunvic-22mm-2-port-mvalve

Yes, if you are certain there is 240v at the input to the pump, but you will need to be able to either isolate the water circuit, above, and below the pump - or drain down to replace the pump head.

The down-side, is that it needs to burn diesel, in a diesel burning boiler system, just to help get the cooling system warm enough to provide cabin heat.

I would question the need to check the meter at all, and the whole exercise has proven a waste of time, risk, and effort anyway - because both meters agreed. There again, what would the op do if they disagreed? Which of the two would be the one to blame for the error? The only way is to add two...

The banter between us (Ev and I), had the staff nurse in stitches, in the kidney department, then moving to my second appointment in the cardio department, for the ultrasound heart scan, we had that department in stitches too. ;)

My diesel, is very thermally efficient, and they used the same radiator for, petrol 2L, and I understand the 4.6L. The diesels problem is one of it produces hardly any waste heat.

What practically, have you done so far, to attempt to diagnose it?

If you are getting 240v, at the pump, and the pump is not running, and the pump shaft is free, then you need a replacement pump.

I had one of those, it drove/felt like a kwality car at the time.

And ten minutes ago, yet another SMS, with yet another appointment, 1 hour after the above phone call. Luckily, it's a phone call, a pre-operative assessment call. I am just waiting now, for the transport to take us down for my two appointment today.

Do you have a manhole nearby? Check, when the toilet is flushed, that the flush is seen to pass quickly, and freely, through the manhole. Suspect a potential blockage, or obstruction somewhere.

Worse still, the BBC published it.

No, they all got locked up!
