I'll do that tomorrow. I think I'll order the valves and a new pump from Screwfix tonight. What are Pegler pumps like?

I couldn't get it off because the valve upstream didn't close off the supply so I had a trickle of cold water.

Thanks, i'll let it all cool down first and whip it off. So if I find that it is turning and the bearings seem ok, what do I do after that?

They should be, I'm an audio engineer, so pipes, water, wires, they're all the same to me!

I cycled through the three settings, and it's on the highest one.

What is the best way to test the pump?

No, it's been doing it for a while.

Ok, so i'm bleeding a radiator and the water is still flowing with no air coming out of the bleed screw. I bled the radiators yesterday.

How do I drain the system apart from at a bleed screw on a radiator?

The boiler stat is at MAX. I can't find my thermometer to plug into my multimeter. The pipes are too hot to touch for more than a second.

I believe that it is because the radiator get hot and I've got hot water. It's just the cutting out of the boiler doesn't seem right.

That didn't really answer my question. I am aware of the common fault with the old PCBs, but as you will see from my original post, the boiler has had an upgrade kit fitted. What is an APS? Thanks

Yes the pump is running and there is water in the system.

I've got a Suprema 60L with an updated PCB in the Siemens grey plastic housing. I've realised that the boiler is turning itself off after running for a few minutes. It displays a green flashing light after I hear the fan turn off, then after a minute or so a relay clicks and the light turns...
