Hi All,
Typically, I am due to move out of the property I am in this week and the boiler decides to pack up.
It's an Ideal Mini S24, not amazing I know but it's got this far. It started making noises in the night, when the heating would activate, it would almost sound like something was running around in the loft but it was just the boiler making some sort of rotational/knocking for around 5-10 seconds. then it would just continue working. (i think)
On inspection. water pressure at just under 2 bar COLD. temp around 30/40.
If I activate the hot water, it tries to come on but does not ignite, I flick dip switch and lights indicate 'faulty primary circuit'.
If I turn power off and on again, activate heating, works but does eventually make the knocking sound but just carries on working and eventually no sound at all. House heats up fine all round.
If I activate the hot water, i get the noise and then it locks up.
Faulty primary circuit.
The noise is pretty gruesome but when it occurs, i touch the pump and the noise does not feel like it's coming from that. It sounds like it is coming from the upper part of the boiler.

Any ideas?
