Well a new pump nailed the problem and the boiler is running properly for the first time in ages. Amazed at just how quiet the Wilo pump I fitted is - practically silent. Anyway, we have warm radiators for the first time in 3 days and CH running better than it has in the 2 years I've lived here...

The valves are gate valves and externally at least look like they're in good nick - not that this is any indication of internal condition! We're going to be swapping everything out in the summer anyway as we're putting a combi in - frees up a lot of space in the bathroom having no tanks and...

Thanks guys, I don't think the pump has an airlock, I just think it's jamming intermittently and when it does the circulation stops and the boiler cuts out when it overheats. Even if it had an airlock it should still feel/sound like the motor is spinning and it doesn't. For the sake of 60...

OK, I've got a theory but I may be talking out of my... With the room stat turned right up and the programmer on constant I have checked for a live after both and have found there to be a live feed to the boiler and the pump but the boiler will still only run for a few minutes every now and...

I've just picked up a new stat as I think the old one has gad it, but wanted to check something about the wiring: The old stat (Sopac TA 650.03) had 3 wires connected, one being an earth, the other 2 being a yellow cable connected to terminal 1 and a red connected to terminal 3. The new...

Thanks namsag The pump only runs when the boiler is running - would this suggest that the fault lies with the stat? Is it the room stat that switches the pump or is it controlled by the boiler itself? I guess if the stat switches both then that would indicate that the stat may be at fault...

Hi, I have an Ideal Classic RS50 central heating boiler that is driving me slightly mad. This problem started a couple of months back but yesterday took a turn for the worse. What happens is that even with the programmer set to constant and with the room stat turned right up, the boiler...
