Hello all
first time on this site so here goes!
I have a central heating/boiler problem and the details are as follows:
The central heating system is not working.
potterton Pr1ma 30b boiler (at least 10 years old & thermocoupler replaced last year)
Boiler located in the garage.
Hot water tank located in house upstairs in the airing cupboard.
I presume there is a cold water tank in the loft? (pipes going up)
Pilot light is working ok and house thermostat is turned up.
Both timer & manual positions have been tried on timer panel in kitchen.
Hot water is all ok and water is nice and hot.
Can hear/feel the pump working (wsp-wilo salison Pump - Gold) in the airing cupboard as the water is being heated and the black box on top has a white knob switched to the middle position II (as always)
On the pipe work above this there is a grey box - acl Lifestyle - Mid Position Valve, and this appears to be working when the water is being heated.
When the water is being heated a couple of radiators upstairs have a very small area at the bottom where you can feel a slight amount of heat.
The timer is left on all year round however the house thermostat is always turned down.
Sorry but i'm not positive if the radiatorss have come on at all in Nov/Dec as i'm not always here, my feeling is that they probally have not ?
I will have to contact a gas engineer however would appreciate any informed ideas of a possible fault just to help me understand the problem so thank you for your help.
