i hope someone can help,
my daughter has a potterton flamingo boiler, whats happening is the downstairs radiators are not getting hot but upstairs are, all controls on the programmer are set for htg and hot water to be on 24hrs, if the cylinder stat is turned up the boiler fires up for a bit and then goes off, there is no boiler stat so the boiler should be on until the rads are all hot. my thoughts are that the pump has packed up, would i be right, if not can anyone suggest any other reason....boiler stat maybe, im just trying to work through this logically but any help would be appreciated.
my other problem is where would the pump be i cant find it, i guess it might be under some floor boards somehwre but how the heck do you find it
thanks in anticipation
Bill
