Hi everyone.
Further to my earlier posts, I have been watching my boiler for the last few days and have found out what it is doing. But not why. We have gravity feed hot water and pumped central heating. The timer clock is set, the boiler comes on and then turns itself off after a few minutes. The only way to get hot water is to turn on the central heating for 5 minutes. We then turn the heating off at the thermostat and control panel and the boiler heats the water happily until the time period ends.
Does anyone have a suggestion for this strange behavoiur in what has until now been a reliable but old Potterton Flamenco50s.
Thanks for looking
