so, what has he done, then, to make the boiler work...? I'm really confused now.

he said it was related to the pump

It was related to the pump, I think he said. I dont think Homeserve have ever had the parts they require in their van - they always have to order them. Very odd indeed.

OK, so today's verdict is that the diaphragm has burst, so a new one has been ordered and will be fitted next week. He has bypassed it in the meantime so we have hot water till then.
