The MV's seem (from memory) to have closed. I've not had chance to check the continuity (unfortunately I work as a desk monkey but checking that is one of the jobs on my list this eve!) Yeah i've been reading about the solo 2's and the PCB seems to control the pump over run which according...

Tony, re-edited the comment as per your request. WRT to the pump running continously I can hear it humming away!!! The air or kettling?!?! seems to be apparent when the boiler has stopped and is on cool down it takes about 2 mins (roughly) of spluttering then the overheat lamp appears on the...

Spraggo, Thanks for the reply. The boiler seems to be ok in that when the system is up to temp via the room thermostat or HW thermostat it will switch itself off. The boiler will also cut-out (maybe the wrong teminology) when the internal thermostat hits the correct temp (it does continue...

Tony, To answer your question about the o/h lamp, on the boiler I have there is! the lights are as follows (L-R) OverHeat, Boiler On, Fan On, Pilot On, Burner On. I assume the gate valve is the bypass as the engineer who fitted the pump im sure stated as much! Will give the 1/4 to 1/2 turn...

Ahh smashing thanks for that!! I'm stupid by name stupid by nature :lol: So you would recommend a quarter turn to open it up? will give it a bash!

Thanks for that Kev :) However the valve in question is one of these http://www.toolstation.com/shop/p17726 stupid question but would an adjustable wrench work!!? Thoughts muchos appreciated!

Ahh the pump was only put in in june!! There is a manual gatevalve however the valve doesnt have a knob attached to it?! not sure what I would need to open the valve up? (excuse my stupidity on that score!) Yep when it happens the overheat lamp is lit on the boiler, and prior to that you can...

Hi, I'm running an open system with a baxi solo 2 PF40 boiler a Grundfos Selectric UPS 15/50 Central Heating Pump, in an S plan system (I have two separate drive valves). The pump has been replaced in june of this year. The engineer did a full system drain down to fit etc. He used...

Thanks for that KevPlumb, I assume a broken overrun/overheat stat would cause intermittent problems? [Edit poor spelling!]

Hi, I'm looking for a little bit of advice regarding a boiler overheating problem. Currently my Baxi Solo boiler will run successfully for about 24 hours before locking out with the overheat light on. General observations: I have noticed that when the room thermostat is at the...
