Thanks, I might do just that. They may be keen to get a sale or two in the new year. The boiler in there is threatening to swallow up my cash by the fistful. I think it's time it came out, don't you? ;)

My RGF also suggested a Gloworm betacom. It needs to be A rated for fitting in a rented property otherwise he can't issue a Landlords Gas Cert for it, which is also a legal requirement. If you know somewhere locally who will supply me a glowworm Betacom A rated for under £500 inc vat I would...

The guy who came out was a one man band. Moor Heat or Moorheat. Very good he was too!

We have a ferolli in another property. Can't say it's given us a problem apart from when it was a couple of months old. After the fun and games we had with their approved repairers in our area saying they couldn't come out for a week, I then got back to Ferolli saying this was simply not good...

Well, an update. I thought I'd got on top of it for a while. I was trying to force the water around each part of the system at a time with the pump at its maximum setting. The pump was definitely working well and so was the 3 port valve. I discovered a couple of the rads downstairs were...

I like it! :lol: It's a Maxol Morocco. Likely to be about 30 years old I reckon. Which is why we're going to change it soon. Oh, it's Natural Gas fired

Well, I don't know about that to be sure. But none of the system has been modified or altered in any way since it worked properly, except for the fitting of the drain cocks at each radiator downstairs (each downstairs radiator is separately fed from the flow and return running above the ground...

The pilot light does go out. The front of the boiler gets hot when it does this, suggesting that I have a circulation problem? The hot water works fine. The boiler stays on and keeps the water hot. But with the heating on, the rads get warm after about 15 mins then cool down. On inspection...

Thanks for your reply. As to the main problem with the boiler cutting out when the CH is swiched on and the likely circulation problem, do you have any other suggestions other than bleeding the system please? Thanks

I have an old pilot light boiler with stored hot water. The system uses an indirect fortic type vented cylinder to store and heat hot water. Recently the boiler stopped working altogether. When the system was switched on it the boiler would overheat due to lack of circulation and then cut...
