Thanks for all the advice guys. Called out an expert in the end, he diagnosed that it was the pump and replaced it with a Grundfos. An independent guy so not too strict about the whole efficiency regulations, which was probably just as well in this case. However, I'll be getting a few...

Hi Tony, thanks for the comment, I think the system hasn't been shown much tlc so it's probably quite likely there'd be some seized parts... Still don't really know what to do but I'm off to bed. Cheers for the advice!

Thanks, i suspected that might be the case, other parts of the flat were done pretty poorly too :( What would you suggest upgrading? How do I check there's water in the system?

Eeek. Sorry they're mostly sideways...

The boiler is the other side of this wall in the kitchen. I think the pipe coming off the top to the circulating pump is the hot water and the one lower down the heating? This is how it connects to the tank Here's the tank Is that the f&e tank above, the smaller one...

I didn't check the f&e tank, it's quite tricky to get to so will take a while to check. As I sort of tried to describe earlier, the heating and hot water were both off and the tank cold as it had been off for a few days. I switched just the hot water on, this heated the pipe feeding from the...

Thanks, I'd just like to have one that works atm! Is there much of a price difference with the energy efficient ones? Do the Grundfos ones fall in the energy efficient bracket?

I think it'll take a while to come on as the tank is stone cold now, it's been off for about 5 days. Any tips on a recommendations for a replacement pump if that was the case?

I don't think so, I just assumed it would go off at the same time as the hot water as the heating can't be put on independently. The controls on the timer don't allow it. I'll give it a go though, thanks.

Hopefully someone can offer some tips, I'm a bit of a noob to central heating systems and the missus is getting pretty stressed about the lack of hot water.... I have a 1982 Ideal Concord WCF 240B and a Myson CP53 circulating pump. The boiler is firing when cold, and only lasting for a few...
