now What???

[kevplumb]

It's an old boiler

thats no way to describe DIA he has months left yet

the flame altering and changing colour has me perplexed

Could be faulty thermocouple, loose connection to it or something else but either way if it's affecting the pilot light then you need to get a boiler person in to check it over.

The Fuelsaver is a low content boiler. I can only re-iterate what Tony has said. If it is working (ie heating the h/w & c/h) then it may be a combustion issue. The boiler stat can be adjusted but thats a tricky issue for a DIYer. When was it last serviced?

You gas valve may be allowing gas to light back to the injector. A cause of noise, rumbling. (Like a light aircraft taking off.) Again, RGI territory Im afraid.

... now i've got bumping and rattling what is ccausing this????? thanks janine

You're getting old.

Thanks for your imput everyone, appreciated.just out of interest whats an explosive ignition thanks again janine

At one point Janine said the bumping starts after a hot tap had been used.

I am wondering if a motor valve while moving creates a situation where there if no flow for a few seconds?

That would need an expert to visit or some very good photos of the valves might give a clue.
