Ive tried it a few times this morning, the pipe still doesn't get hot. The boiler stays on, though I hear a click after about half an hour or so then when I look at it its on again so think it may shut off to cool down.
on the end of the valve is a lever that you can push across, is it stiff to push or floppy ?
There is a lever on the silver box set to 'Auto' it flips accross to 'mannual' and back loosely if thats what you mean.
I have taken a picture of the pipework am just trying to figure out how to post it here

if you have only got hw on at the programmer and heating off
and the lever is floppy as if its not connected to anything it sounds like the valve is stuck in heating only position.
this will make the pipe to the cylinder cold and the pipe to heating still hot.

oh ok, that sounds logical, where is the valve and how do I change that then please?
its the valve you been pushing the lever on.
is the pipe to the heating still hot even though you only have the hw on ?
your pic didn't work

nope not hot at all, its a bit warm near to the valve, but then gets colder as it moves towards the cylinder.
How do I reset the valve? Ive looked at it and cant seem to see anything on it that would do that?

is the pipe still hot on the other pipe ?
that gos to the rads.
that gos to the rads.
Yes it is
it sounds like its jammed.
one final test you can do is to isolate your mains power on the fused switch on the wall, that will kill all power to the system.
this will reset the valve.
then you can check the lever on the valve it should be stiff to push as it will be in its relaxed position.

I have no idea how I would do that?? Could you advise me please?
is their a switch on the wall in the airing cupboard or near the boiler that will switch the power off to the system electrics.
yes there is, do I need to switch it off?
Ive been watching the boiler too as Ive had it on water only, and it does appear to be cutting off after a while, then coming back on a gain after a few minutes
