very kind of you namsag but I should have asked a few more questions
If I carry on like this I will be labeled as a "part chukka"
namsag,
Yes, the pressure gauge is in a housing above the boiler. The red thingy mentioned earlier also lives in that upper housing, and has the letters W+P on it along with some other inscription that I will try to read now.
Normally, when the heat demand comes on, we hear the boiler fire up, and a constant sound that i presume is the pump. Both the firing up sound and the constant pump noise are now absent

ok, and just now, something strange happened.
As I was trying to read the inscription on the bottom of the "red thingy" (which I now suspect is a pump), the boiler came alive....... .....boiler firing up sound and all. Went on for about a minute, then stopped again.
checked the radiators......still stone cold!!!

Have a look about for a little red reset button might be up the top in housing or down at bottom of boiler behind drop down flap somewhere
JUST SAW you replied as i was, sounds like faulty pump and boiler overheating

ok thanks.
The red thing is actually some sort of reservoir (saw the words 8 litre capacity on it), and above that is the pump, i think.
well, thanks to you all for your help......seems like I am in for a big bill ...best to give up trying to find a diy solution now, i think

The bit on top of your boiler is a purpose built bit of kit for classics called a sytem kit .. The big red thing is an expansion vessel which basically takes the place of an expansion tank in loft
