my boiler isnt working
two weeks ago we had to put the radiators on so we could get hot water now we have nothing, no heating and no hot water any clues .....

The initial problem sounds like a fairly standard busted diverter valve, although possibly could be other things. "Nothing works" is hard to diagnose since it could be so many things. Any more info would be helpful, such as which lights are on the front panel, whether the boiler fires up when you ask for heat, etc.

Hi when I turn the hot water tap on the boiler fires up for about 6 seconds, then it goes off. The radiators aren't coming on at all.
A couple of weeks ago everything was fine, then we lost the hot water on its own where we had to have the radiators on to have hot water....

Faulty pump?

if you knew what you were talking about you would be dangerous. no doubt you are one of these mentalists that wants to change a perfectly good DV for a worn piece of rubber.

the department of needless waste doesn't thank you at all.

The only light that comes on is the flame light for hot water, it comes on for about 6 seconds then off. The radiator light doesnt come on at all.
