Hi, I have just purchased a new house and struggling to get the glow worm boiler to work! It is a Glow worm combi boiler which is 9 years old, i can get the boiler on providing hot water however the central heating does not seem to work? The pump is running and the boiler has above 3 bar pressure. Any ideas what to be checking, hopefully it will be something simple!

Sorry not got the model number as not at new house at the moment. I did increase the pressure as it said in the manual to not let it drop bellow7 bar i think?
It seems like the boiler comes on showing the green light but then stops after 15 seconds?

think you will find it says.7 bar
Hi back again! I have checked the model of the boiler and its a glow worm 100e, i checked the pressure of the boiler and its at 0.7 bar not 7 bar is i said yesterday! had a play around with the boiler today and found that if i remove the motorised valve the central heating comes on. If i fit it back on then the hot water works but the central heating goes off. Any ideas what could cause this?think you will find it says.7 bar
actuator is seized /shot (the bit you removed ) ain't working
