Oh help, it never rains .... after congratulating myself yesterday for having got the old boiler running again (new pump fitted, rads all working) I've just had to power the boiler off at the mains very quickly!!
There's an 'orrible screeching noise coming from said boiler, right down in the business end of it. Doesn't sound good at all.
I haven't the first clue what it does with my oil when it gets it, but the noise it is making happens whenever you restore power (it goes through this little ritual where it sounds like a fan is switched on for a good few seconds prior to igniting the burners and doing the biz). The screeching starts immediately you switch on, so I can't bear to leave it on long enough to see if it will actually fire in case it just self destructs!
Any ideas anyone? The boiler is a Worcester Heatslave 15/19 Oil Fired. Back to boiling kettles again .......
Humbly yours, Anne
