    CH 'fires' up for a few mins then cuts out

    Thanks @MeldrewsMate - no towel rad in the circuit, just the Bathroom Rad first in line which gets piping hot with both CH and HW demand irrespective of other results/rads. Should I try closing this Rad once pump running as a test? Does the water pipe (cold feed) from the loft mounted F&E tank...

    CH 'fires' up for a few mins then cuts out

    @Johntheo5 - Pump replaced approx 1 year ago because (very) old Grundfos pump spindle was getting jammed frequently. - CH was fairly lacklustre prior to pump change but did essentially operate and boiler/burner remained on; after new pump install CH never on long enough to properly gauge...

    @Johntheo5 - thanks for staying with this and apologies for belated response - have been away for a few days. Vent Pipe Tests Pre-testing: Vent pipe that runs over cold water tank is dry as a bone, inside pipe and externally, indicating that no water has passed through recently. - CH ON - No...

    CH 'fires' up for a few mins then cuts out

    Thanks @Johntheo5 - as @MickyP10 says this was a good spot. For various reasons we won't get into I have a deep seated, some may even say conspiratorially cynical, aversion and attitude to anything labelled or promoted as 'Eco' - so I can definitively confirm I've never used this setting and...

    CH 'fires' up for a few mins then cuts out

    @gas112 - It does, however so far I've been killing the CH v shortly after the Boiler Burner Indicator goes out because: a) I was concerned about causing damage b) I don't know what I'm doing c) wife told me to even though she also doesn't know what she's doing As mentioned, I'll try keeping...

    CH 'fires' up for a few mins then cuts out

    @numpty1 Thanks - that's definitely something I can try (I'll stick a Columbo film on whilst I wait). A couple of dumb follow-up queries (sorry): - Do you mean the stat/dial on the Boiler? - The Worcester Bosch manual states the temp range is approx 35 - 82 Degrees C but the dial isn't...

    CH 'fires' up for a few mins then cuts out

    Thanks v much for replies: @Hugh Jaleak - When system was drained the water was fairly clear, and certainly not discoloured/odd enough for us to take note @Johntheo5 - Boiler doesn’t exactly reset: - Burner Indicator (Green light) comes ON when CH turned on - After approx 15 mins, Burner...
