Maybe no water in system? Sounds like it overheating??

Are you sure its a combi?

ive read the bits about topping up if its a sealed system but i can see the loop system it goes on about

check around the boiler for a silver flexi pipe...
some boilers have integral loops.. so really we need boiler model .. so we can help . :)

oops sorry model in title .
 
This one's a nice, simple, wall-mounted balanced flue boiler with a whacking great two-piece exchanger so yes i would go for air lock .
 
who ever altered the pipes should be able to fix it for you .. 1 way is to back fill it .. ie: use a hose pipe and fill from a drain off remeber to watch for the tank in the roof over flowing ..
there are various ways of doing it .. some better than others ..
 
Yes thought the W2000 was a system boiler rather than combi.

It sounds like your plumber / heating engineer / whoever has not fully filled the system with water after their visit. If this is the case, the boiler may be getting too hot. Get them back in and they should be able to sort it quickly.
 
hi plumber came back flushed the system all worked fine then tonight no heating or hot water again and a very very loud ticking noise from the red box next to the tank came anyone help again :oops:
 
The red box hasn't got TNT written on it has it? If so evacuate house and call bomb squad...only kidding.

The red box could be a pump maybe?

Still sounds like an airlock to me, or possibly pump not working at all (impellor?)

When you say it 'all worked fine' when he / she was there, how sure are you of this?
