seco your a star mate... i'll give it me best shot.. do you think that would be causing the overflowing and air problems then... thanks mate
yes but the pump would not be on if the system was cold surely? when the OP said cold, i pressumed he meant with the system turned off!!
why would the diverter valve flickering be caused by sludge also?!! seems weird as the OP said the water looked fine!...

if you switch your heating on from cold in the morning soon as the boiler starts the pump will kick in.
the pump runs as long as the boilers firing.
do you mean when he said its switch off its still pumping over.
i would say thats on the pump overrun

sorry! i was thinking the OP measnt with the system turned completely off!!!
still not sure why the DV would be flickering over though like that!...
if i switch off my boiler how long should it take for the overflow to stop flowing... as i'm pretty sure its continuous....
i would say the spindle is seizing and the motors trying to open it.
few mins.
feel the pump running then when it stops the vent should stop.
and as mentioned what make/model valve have you ?
the paddle type box is a LANDIS & GYR MODEL V322 tried the magnet thing but had that much paint on pipes along with a very weak magnet didnt stick.. will try switching off.. alot of noise such a water and air in pump itself..
Seco, I have to admit: you are tops.... i've learned from this post Top plumber.
The only thing left is... the OP has said the water looks clean?!!

yes the clean water don't help solve the problem.
seco... i have been told before though and seen that clean water (in the tank/when first draining a system) can be a false sign..... sludge can hide
If I were from essex I'd love to be your plumbers mate!! Top man!

Top man!well i've got good old british gas home care coming out again tomorrow,...and they ain't bloody leaving until they solve it.. how long does the pump take to stop once switched off as it's still running???
kif the wiring is correct, and the pump overun hasn't STUCK then as seco said about 10mins... until water temp is below about 60 degree s C!
once your boiler shuts down it should only run for a few min.
thats unless its only shut down by the boiler stat and heating not to temp.
if you turn the hw off at programmer and heating down on wall stat the boiler should shut down for good and the pump on overrun for a few min to remove excess heat from the boiler.
