Definitely a magnetic filter... will photograph it.
Heating valves look open, but check they feel like they're moving something when you turn them. It's not unknown for the plastic lever insides to round off, the handle turns but the valve doesn't.
Handyman was back last night but he can't get to me until next week so we had a chat on the phone. The most curious part was that he said he'd not altered the position of any of the valve levers under the boiler! So, unless I did in some kind of dream (I most certainly did not!), this is spooking me a little bit.
Which branch would that be. I need parts for an Ecotec so going to said branch will be prudentLocal Parts Center told me that every morning they sell the equivalent of a whole Ecotec in spare parts.
So who did close it in the beginning? Handyman telling lies? Or you in a dream?
