    I will show the electrician this comment tonight. Ask him to make it safe too And then maybe a phone call to British gas

    Sorry to be asking silly questions. Could they test to see if it comes out of lockout out mode? I.e. turn on without the red-light. ?

    This is a brilliant suggestion. Should British gas be able to confirm this before recommending a rewire?

    Thank Andy When the electrician is around we can check this again. I'm confident the connections are good though as I've check and started over a few times now. All suggestions are appreciated

    Hi Stem I will be calling the boiler engineers shortly. One thing that I'm not sure about. Is seems the fuse was blown from a small nick in the blue wire (return from pump), is this possible? Thanks

    I do wonder if this could have damaged a component on a circuit board or blew the pump somehow? I would be great if nothing was damaged but I can't clear the lockout for some reason
