Hi Guys, any advice would be greatly appreciated please, I have heating upstairs but not downstairs, I have a Glow-worm space saver mk 2 on the wall in my kitchen with an airing cupboard upstairs with an immersion heater in? Nothing in the cupboard, all floorboards nailed down so no openings, any ideas where else to look? House is 1900 with bathroom downstairs behind the kitchen? Thanks

Think it’s heat only boiler, so probably separate pump. @Lineo post photo of boiler and cylinder cupboard
Just been looking at an old screwfix forum regarding this type of boiler. Apparently one of the problems someone experienced was a blockage in the feed pipe from the loft which prevented some rads from working because the water wasn't reaching them, causing the boiler to cut out before over heating. They discovered it was probably blocked because when they bled the rads there was no water or air escaping.

How many pipes coming from the boiler ? Could be on a gravity system, so the water will heat without a pump. Try listening where the pipes run to see if you can hear anything, a stuck pump may hum.

Keep the house really quite and try listening even putting your head to floorboard. Or try following wires from the controls....the giveaway is where you see the bksrds floorboards have been lifted ( tongues missing and floorboards cut accross there width )
Seek and ye shall find.
