Sorry guys, not ignoring you. Got fed up & started on a curtain pole loo. Will try what you suggested tomorrow if I can.

OK, thanks guys. Will get the brother in law over with his kit as he has a bit more knowledge than me. Plus if it is the valve, think he has a spare. Cheers for the advise, will let you know how I get on.

Is there a way I can bypass the thermostat to see if it's definitely causing the issue? Connect 2wires to complete the circuit maybe?

And this is the new one

This is the old thermostat

There is a three-way valve, which appears to be operating fine. It sits in one position for the hot water, and when the CH is turned on it moves position. However, nothing else happens.

Hi all I know this question has probably come up before, but I've searched through things & still at square one. We've got an old Ideal W2000 boiler & apart from a couple of small issues it's been OK. A few days ago the boiler fired up for the central heating, only to cut out 30secs later...

The Honeywell controller does seem a little dodgy upon further inspection. Kind of flickers between things/settings. Sounds like I need to ring someone in the morning to take a look, diagnose/fix the issue & flush out the system.

OK, thanks guys. How come the "over pumping" takes 50mins to cause an issue? Sounds like I may need to call in British Gas!

Thanks duffin The small tank appears to be the one with the ball valve. This appears to be set well below the overflow pipe.
