Hello, sorry to bother you. A chap called mickey g suggested I ask your advice about a boiler/system problem and your profile suggests you know what you are talking about! I'm looking for an engineer in Lanarkshire who can advise me about whats happening as Heatteam don't seem able to do so...

Thanks for that :) , I'll drop him a line

Kirkgas? Who'se that sorry? Someone on the forum?

oh right, I see. Building regs. That's England and Wales. I dk if there is a different system North of the Border?

I think I shall get a second opinion from an independent then. I opened up the boiler and had a look for the switched live wire. No joy as far as I could see! I disengaged the controller from the pump at the connections block, but the boiler fired up and the pump ran still. Reached the limit...

Two port valve sorry. Tried running the boiler this morning and it just trips the RCD :(. So, I'm worse off than if I just hadn't called an engineer out! How do I find a competent engineer so I can just pack Heatteam in?! The call centre is so unhelpful, it's not true. Rant, rant

I'll maybe try what you suggest tom Simon, if I'm feeling confident. Boiler showing temp reached light again instead of no external call for heat and pump running again even though CH&HW timer is off :(. It had behaved itself for a bit. Also, when I set the cylinder stat to minimum...

I turned the boiler stat off and it behaved itself. Turning it on even a little and everything fired up. I had turned down the cylinder stat to 50 (it had been on 70 apparently) and thought the temp was fine, at about 54 degrees. Checking it just a bit before it was up at 58. I know these...

Thanks for you help so far :). In relation to the service engineer's visit, I wasn't implying he caused it, just a correlation. The pump problem had been around for ages. Engineer said it sounded ok to him. The not turning off and the pump running all night only started on the day, after...

I know there are lots of posts on these old boilers, but none seem to quite match the problem I'm having, unless I haven't looked carefully enough. Informed advice gratefully received! System is: Potterton Suprima 50 boiler and Heatrae Sadia megaflo unvented cylinder. Had various...
