Twgas, I have had a engineer out to replace motorised valve on top of 2 port,and all was fine until this morning...could this be more sinister...'read'..expensive...?..

Well,after sorting out one problem,thanks to all your help my boiler now has another problem... each time i tray to use the boiler the pilot light tries to ignite then immediatly trips the rcd...so now i cannot even turn it on at all.... No hot water/heating/nothing.... Any ideas

Sorry guys for the late reply... Its NOT the pump....it was the 2 port vale feeding the main rads..!!. i really appreciate all your help,finally disconnected the power to main rad 2 port vale and all has been running fine :D .... had to take out orange,grey and white wires on this valve...

As im work at the mo and cannot confirm,could this be causing the tripping?...i take it it cannot be unjammed?
