Old balanced flue Wickes 50 (Halstead Boiler).
Everything working perfectly but today I decided to drain it down and put in some cleaner. It was not dirty when i drained it as i only did it a few months back but never added any cleaner.
Now I have refilled it and got rid of ALL the air and bled the pump so its not any of that. I have done this loadsa times before and I know how to bleed my whole system.
The pilot light is quite happily lit when the boiler is turned to off so I know that the thermocouple is ok.(Ive just replaced it).
But everytime I turn the boiler temp on to any number (1-6) the boiler fires up runs quite happily for a few minutes everything starts to warm up so it is circulating but then it just trips out and the pilot goes out. It will relight straight away but then it just does the smae again
Its almost like it thinks the boiler is overheating but its not??
Please help as Im cold and need a bath.
I know its an old boiler but it I do not have the money to change it at the moment.
