Noise problems in C/Heating

mazroy · 24 Jul 2006

Our central heating system is quite old now and we do have plans to replace it when funds allow but we have a problem with it. When the bolier fires up it only seems to stay on for a few seconds and then shuts off with 3 or 4 loud bangs which sound like someone banging a chisel against cat iron......I tend to think the pumps gone but i dont have a clue really. Also water doesnt seem to be getting hot as it should and water also runs out very quickly. any help anyone please.

its a Thorn emi apollo boiler with hotwater tank upstairs.

Perhaps there's NO WATER in the system!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for replying....

how can that happen though? Surely it would have to have been drained down in some way? I dont know much about this but i know the system hasnt been drained ...its been switched to hot water only for summer but would that cause a problem?
