Hi, HW is ok, CH won't start. Otherwise boiler is working ok. Serviced 2 months back. Suspect a possible diverter valve issue but want to run past some experts.
With the HW off, when the CH comes on the boiler does not fire up at all.
And with the the HW on, once the CH comes on the boiler powers down (to just pilot light).
If the water if off when the central heating comes on there is no effect to the boiler at all.
Does this sound like a diverter valve issue. It's a 12+ year old boiler but other than this I haven't had any problmes and it's well looked after.
I am in two minds whether I should investigate this, or replace the boiler (gas guy quoted approx 1250 for a new boiler and install - a newer potterton)
Thanks!
