Thanks Sooey. I'll give that a go.

The system at my new house was drained and now I can't refill it. The Ecotec pro hasn't got the handles underneath, but I used a screwdriver to turn the valves. I tried them all (except gas) - in pairs - as I know you have to do 2 together - but no joy. No filling sound or increase in...

This is the best I can do... green is the earths the numbers are the separate complete (3core) cables and the dots are where they join. Hope this helps. PR
