Hi. Before you ask, yes we've had the oil tank filled :-) The boiler is a Rialto and is only about 3 months old. It was working fine until it ran dry and cut out a few days ago. We had the tank filled and then restarted the burner (by pressing the red 'cut-out' button), every 10 seconds, over...

Thats the feller! Add another half a dozen switches and thats my CU. I ruled out disconnecting either the oven or hob because the trip only happens about every two weeks so it would be inconvenient to loose the use of either appliance for that long. The house I'm in is rented and the CU...
