Hi agile, yes a replacement pump was fitted. I guess this was the main problem too. But, it sorted now and I'm happy. Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. Paul

Yeah sorry Bazman - it's my terminology I'm afraid. After the pump was magically sorted (god knows) the boiler was trying to light but after trying to spark a few times it would fault with the red light. Only after the flow switch was replaced again it lit and was all working again. So pump...
