valve is switching back and forth as should do (last one stopped doing this?!! had been using it on manual open setting (and wedged to stop any reset to auto). stat is working fine and the boiler will fire up /stop according to the click on the room stat. pump is scorching and i can hear a...

right!! got loads of air out through that screw on the pump. have twiddled with the "unlock" function and ?seems? ok. have bled all rads (although no air seemed to be present) DHW working fine :) pump sounds as though it is working so presuming power is present. rads are stone cold...

mmm that is a possiblitly Ollski! for my future reference, how would you go about ensuring the pump doesnt become air locked in this sort of situation (ie changing the valve/ pump itself!) many regards Jon

thanks dave18, im fearing that too! another £60 :( and im meant to be saving my pennies for Glastonbury!!!! thatll be another 20 pints im short that weekend!

the pump is doing something so i guess it is getting power? too tired to go and fiddle with leccy now... will die! :) however i suspect the pump is knacked! i undid the screw i mentioned earlier for "unlocking" the pump to do the "screwdriver spinning" test (without the screwdriver just with...

will check on the trip switch issue...will have to find the manula first!! do you mean the manula for the pump (dont have one) or for the boiler? which i dont have but a copy of this one ( which is the sister model to the primaB ) here ah! have just reset the trip switch!!! have fired...

um somerset! we have paid £30 ( afew years ago) and more recently £35 for our annual boiler "service" consisting of a clean up inside and balancing the gas thingys. this hasnt required any parts so is purley for labour of cleaning/checking and balancing. or have we been ripped off and...

screw will not come out! have investigated this following the last post :) i undid the screw as far as it would go, you then have to pull out the screw until it "engages" with the spindle (did that) i then (as instructed on pump) turned the screw (and presumably the pump inside as it had got...

i would say NO! :) gas (and carbon monoxide) can kill my friend....get a corgi regd person to come and service it. if that is all it needs... a good clean and balance then itll be around £30. im sure youd agree it aint worth risking your life over £30 :)

didnt drain down system, isolated as much as i could and then just drained the header tank and what was left in surrounding pipework. all valves are open, how do you bleed pump? cant see any means of doing that? do you use the screw on the front marked (in event of pump lock...) ?? btw...

hello all :) i've searched through and found similar problems but not the same, so forgive me if i ask a basic question!! :) system as follow: potterton prima b boiler, HW tank upstairs in airer, air splitter tank thingy, header tanks in loft directly above, myson SMC SD53 pump and...
