Thanks Mike, The plumber is hopefully coming this week to fix the problem (again).... I am going to keep my beady little eye on him this time!

Out of interest could anyone please tell me what setting the pump should be on? I do recall the corgi guy saying he had turned it down a bit, and I wondered if that could be the cause of the boiler going mad when set on Hi? Thanks!

Thanks to both of you for your help... I think I may be a little out of my depth here (single woman who thinks she can do anything ha ha). I will wait for the corgi to return to fix the problem he was supposed to fix last visit, and hope I have the nerve to ask for it to be done at a reduced...

Hi, this is my first time, although I have read everything I can on this site in relation to my problem...just hoping someone can help please! PROBLEM 1 I have a fairly old Apollo Fanfare boiler, which I had serviced in Sept 08. A few days after the service the central heating starting...
