Well, it took a while, but it seems that there were two faults. 1: the solenoid was renewed as it didn't always open properly to allow fuel into the boiler. 2: With a new solenoid fitted, the burner did not fire when slotted home in the furnace, but did fire when out of the boiler but with the...

Thanks very much for all your prompt replies., and for info, I have a heating engineer conversant with oil boilers attending tomorrow, and I'll post an update in due course.

I've had another look and there's nothing close to the pump inlet. I found a valve where the pipe runs behind the boiler, but the valve wheel just turns and turns without closing. I counted 50 half turns, and no resistance at all so it's not closing. Regarding the fan impeller, with the inlet...

This is all I have from the labels

No, unless it's underground between the tank and the boiler, which is extremely unlikely. Certainly nothing in the two metres of pipe near the boiler.

The nozzle is wet with oil when opened up after testing, so this suggests yes.

I really wanted to keep it going for another 12 months if possible while I take the opportunity to carefully consider my options, including the idea of replacing it with a heat pump.

I've had this boiler for some 25 years and it has given good service, albeit with various replacement photocells, burner tips, baffle plates, and it had a new pump and motor fitted some five years ago. Now there is a new problem. No ignition on starting before it locks out, which suggests that...

Thanks a lot for the prompt reply! I just re-checked and I found that it was set to entry (the other options are burglar, home omit, away entry and 24 hour), but on checking the others I found that one was set to entry, but the other two were set to burglar. I haven't deleted and reloaded any...

Further to my message above, I had more problems. Just sent this problem description to Yale, and will update if and when I receive an answer. I changed a battery in a HSA6060 Door/Window contact, and after that I could not get rid of a tamper fault. I thought that I had fixed it by removing...

I had the same problem, and removing the door contact and adding it back did the trick. Great advice, thanks!
