Thanks for all the help offered here folks I know a guy who I can call on so it looks like him. I know the burner assembly has to come out to replace the capillary and the thermocouple for the pilot (will get that changed while he's at it) Haven't been able to check direction of pump yet...

Where should it be then? This was an instalation done by a 'reputable' company, supposedly. I need to move the tumble dryer and grovel around a bit to see the pump. That can wait till tomorrow methinks. ( It's in the kitchen below the boiler. ) Thanks everyone for your help, It's looking...

Supplier hadn't got any in stock :wink:

The main burner shuts off when the programmer switches off, when the control attached to the boiler stat is turned to zero and when the mains is switched off i.e. the valve isn't sticking open.

By that I assume you mean with the orange knob insode the bottom of the cabinet. Yes it does.

Did that before putting flushing agent in, it did drain and at a reasonable speed but not scintilatingly fast.

Tried the magnet trick nothing came of it. Had already started flushing with x400. Also adjusted the ball valve arm to make header tank water depth deeper (read somewhere it should be 100mm???) Pump is working and I'm sweating coz all the rads are on at moment. :lol: If this helps go...

:wink: Thanks for that. Hope I can flush it out

This might prove difficult as a lot of the pipe is under floor/carpet/tiled bathroom floor :( Thinking of getting some flushing agent to run through it. God! I hope that works, I don't fancy ripping up the floor :cry: Just going to peruse the FAQ's as suggested earlier. Thanks everyone...

No checked that, it is full and ball valve works. Going to run the heating tomorrow for a spell then go round all the bleed valves and rads. see if that shakes anything up. I did think the boiler was low on water so the stat wouldn't necessarily work as it is in the top right of the boiler, is...

Shortly after the timer switches on the boiler I get this noise in the pipes like a train is running through the house, it sounds a bit like possibly steam escaping into the vent/overflow which goes into the CH header tank. I thought it was the cylinder stat so I replaced it, it was pretty old...
