Hi,
I have 2 years old Sabre HE25 Combi Boiler.
As I now understand, system was not flushed when it was fitted. And due to lintel in the brickwork of the house, the flue is in slightly upward angle hence rain water stays in the flue and it is getting rusty inside.
Also, there are trace of a bit of rust inside, at the back of the boiler. I have seen water dripping from back of the combi when it was raining heavy the other day. However, I have never seen this happen in the past.
Main Problem:
Few weeks ago, hot water and central heating stopped working and solid Red Light came on.
I have managed to get it working by just Reseting it.
In its user manual, red light code refers to changing Primary Thermistor.

I have changed this and refilled the system. It worked fine for few days then stopped working altogether.
When you demand hot water, pump starts working, first section fires up (or something sounds like that) but just before it is fully fires up, solid red light comes on. Same things happens when you put Central Heating on.
Reset obtion does not help either.
Could anyone tell me what the problem/s might be?
Any advice appreciated.
I live in South Woodham Ferrers in Essex.
Thank you all in advance.
