Hi,
I've noticed various issues regarding my gas boiler central heating system over the last few weeks, but yesterday I noticed that the casing/housing of my Ideal Classic FF240 gas boiler is very hot to the touch. In fact if it's been running for 20 mins or so, I can't bear to hold my hand against it.
Is this normal or should I be powering it off and ringing my heating cover folks (Dom & Gen) straight away?
Other issues that I've had/started to notice recently:
Not sure how you'd describe my system - I have a hot water cyclinder, and 2 tanks in the loft, one large, one small. Not sure if relevant, but the small tank only has about 2 inches of water in it.
I appreciate any comments on the above, particularly about the boiler housing getting hot.
Thanks, Rich[/list]

Other issues that I've had/started to notice recently:
Certain radiators not heating up and having to be bled frequently.
The sound of water/air rushing through the pipeworks somewhere when the system started from cold early in the morning.
Young daughter complaining her bedroom radiator makes a 'crackling' sound preventing her from sleeping.
Yesterday, thought it seemed cold, checking room thermostat - heating should be on and the pump is running but the radiators are cold.
