Any advice welcome guys - my regular guy is on holiday and the installer (not the regular guy - long story) isn't answering his phone.
May be relevant but the boiler, worcester cdi30, was cycling on&off way too much - usually 45-60 secs a time.
Yesterday I unjammed a valve on a room that'd been out of use a good while - realise I may have released a bucket of sludge.
Now, no heating or HW, but, boiler fires up, temp rockets to 100 & above in seconds. One of the pipes underneath gets hot, then it cuts out, heating receives zero benefit. Also I pressed boost button and it make a pretty horrid set of noises, first like a washing machine full of spanners (or a well tuned Transit) then a funny sound like dropping sand through a colander.
Sorry about the long Q but any advice - or pity!
btw, I'm in East London. Assuming this isn't a job for an amateur, what would it cost to fix?
and another btw, there are two white taps/valves by my outside drain. Are these drains for the heating?
