thanks for the response, latest problem now is that boiler doesnt recognise when i switch water on at contrls, but does recognise heating??

new problem now :roll: had water and heating on and had to hit reset twice today, so decided to turn temp control up to 30c and boiler temp to 'max' to keep her burnin for a god while to heat house up, did this cos once house temp stat reaches required setting(say 22c) burner stops as you would...

thanks for all the help. one last thing though, when i said the boiler wont shut down sometimes, this actually happens as well when i just have the water control 'on' on the controls?? so can i definately presume its the valve suggested previously? ps. i might go and do a course next weekend...

thanks for the replies, how do i identify which valve is faulty as there are two? also, they are drayton valves and quite expensive, presumably i can replace the motor inside for cheapness or is this unadvisable?

dunno if anyone can shed any light on my probs b4 i call in da heating engineer? 1. when i switch boiler to off at 'lifestyle' control box, sometimes amber light on boiler wont go out and boiler carries on burning regardless(ongoing) doesnt happen every time but when it does i have to switch it...
