At this moment in time (31/12/12) I haves no hot water or Central Heating. I cannot get the boiler to fire up. I can program the Honeywell ST7100 on the potterton 50e but as soon as I press RUN button the display goes blank. There is no red led power when I try and push the extra hour. I...

Thanks. I will give this a shot after work tomorrow. :)

Not sure why the system seems to be turning off. I think there is no water going into the system. There is water in the overflow tank. I have bled all the rads. Bled the tank under the boiler. Not sure what else to do. Even rebled the big valve above the boiler. Any ideas on how I can...

Not sure how to read this or how it helps. I will take with a positive spin.

Bled the drain pipe from the cylinder tank for a good minute. Water flowed freely. Ensured that all taps were open on tank. The system fired up for three minutes and then cut off. I guess it is this thermal cut off. Still looking for that magic answer that leads me to the system firing and...

Drained the pump. It came on for about 3 minutes. Then the burners went off. I am now concerned. Any other fault finding tips for me to look into.

Thanks. I think you are again on the money. I have uploaded a pic of the pump. What is the best way for me to bleed this puppy? I feel a little better after you input. I can see the light ahead of me and it seems to be warm.

You are right on. It has fired up now. This lasted for about 5mins. then the burners went off. I have turned the system off in order to provide some thinking time. any ideas please. thanks anyway for the location of the reset.

What do you mean? I thought the pump was off because the system was not functioning. You will have to expand what you mean. As far as I am aware the pump has and did worked when the system fired up the one time Looking for advice on how to overcome this problem andlocate thereset button...

Drained my CH system down. Placed a cleaner into system.However, I am unable to get the cleaner to flow through the system as it will not come on. Now the boiler will not fire. I think this may have something to do with a lack of water or an air block in the boiler. There is water in the...

I have had a week or two with the system working. However, it began to make the noise again. I have turned the whole system off. I did my reading and I am trying to apply a cleanser to the header tank. Tried to go through the rad, but this did not work. I am now trying to release a drain...

What do you mean by 'open vent'. Do you mean the tank. If not what and where is the VENT? thanks. I will take a look for the products you suggested this Monday. Do not think there is much open on Sunday unless I can get to one of the DIY places.

Thanks for this advise. I do not have a towel RAd, so how do I apply? New year greetings to all. I think I have saved myself a few hundred pounds here. Yet let us not get too full of ourselves until I have given this a good run for a day or two. Only then will I feel able to jump up and down and...

It is almost 20 hundred hours at the time of writting this update. I think that I may have cracked this Potterton 50e problem. Bled all the Rads and then started to explore the system. After the voyage to the attic, discovered that the tank for the Boiler was very low. I topped up with water...

The Potterton has gurgled. Bled all the Rads. Now the System attempts to run without crashing to a halt. The is no ignition of pilot and I wonder if the system needs to be topped up with liquid. How do I go about this? I am about to look in the loft and see what magic and dragons lay...
