New to the site and the world of boilers...so hope someone can advise.
I have a Glow-worm Fuelsaver 65F/80F (12-15yr old?), never had problems with it before, but it was re-sited (raised 4 ft) 1 year ago during a kitchen extension, and 1 rad replaced in top bedroom 6 mths ago. I think it is open-vented (there is a tank in loft if this helps).
It has been on HW only over the summer until yesterday when it started to clank and bang loudly, like someone had dropped a spanner in the pipes just above it. I switched off as soon as noises started, and have switched back on once and noises started again after 30secs or so, so it is now switched off.
Anything I can do diy (keen to give it a go), or do I need to chance my arm in the world of Rogue Traders?
Cheers
